Daily News | U.S. men’s national team clashes with Mexico in Azteca Stadium, emerges with a scoreless draw
A cagey soccer match in Azteca Stadium between the Mexico and the USA resulted in a 0-0 draw, one that oddly enough, likely left both teams simultaneously dissatisfied, yet also a bit contented.
Mexico, even without winning, at least escaped the humiliation of a loss to the USA. With their final two games coming against regional minnows El Salvador and Honduras, El Tricolor fans can reasonably believe that their team is likely to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.Despite the energetic way Mexico’s players began the game, controlling the ball possession and spending the majority of their time in the USA’s end of the field, the best first half chances fell to the Americans.
Once the second half was underway, in the 49th minute, Pulisic again could have done better with a low shot that Ochoa parried.
