Mexico Beat El Salvador 3-1 In Their First Competitive Match Since The Chile Beatdown

Various pundits wondered earlier this week if the Mexico National Team was stagnating under Juan Carlos Osorio, and during the first half it looked like those pundits were right.

A Jorge Torres Nilo handball in the box gave Alexander Larin a penalty try in the 24th minute, and Mexico found themselves down 1-0 and looking mostly listless.

Then, after halftime, Mexico woke up.

Hector Moreno in the 52nd minute.

Angel Sepulveda in the 58th minute.

Raul Jimenez in the 73rd minute.

On to the next one. Mexico finishes group qualifying play against Honduras on Tuesday.
