It took until the second half, but Oribe Peralta scored a tidy goal to lift Mexico over Panama at Toyota Park in Frisco, Texas. This 1-0 victory was El Tri’s final friendly before their clash with the USMNT to begin Hex play on November, 11th, in Columbus, Ohio.
Giovani dos Santos provided the assist to Oribe Peralta’s goal; his 24th for the national team since 2005.
Not much happened in the opening 45 minutes of action as the two sides combined for just one shot on target — from a Giovani dos Santos left-footed effort aimed at the bottom left corner.
