Mexico recorded a 2-1 victory against New Zealand in a friendly, as Giovani dos Santos returned with a goal.

Giovani dos Santos marked his international return with a goal as Mexico claimed a 2-1 win over New Zealand in a friendly Saturday.

Featuring for the national team for the first time since July 2015, Dos Santos opened the scoring at Nissan Stadium from the penalty spot. But the LA Galaxy attacker's effort was canceled out by Marco Rojas early in the second half in Nashville, Tennessee.

Marco Fabian ensured victory for Juan Carlos Osorio's Mexico, which had crushed the Kiwis 9-3 on aggregate in a 2014 World Cup qualifying playoff.
