Despite Cuba thrashing, Mexico knows it must improve finishing

El Tri scored six against the overmatched Cubans, but could have tallied many more in their Gold Cup opener.

CHICAGO — Mexico thrashed Cuba 6-0 on Thursday night, but El Tri wasn't totally satisfied with the win.

Though the team scored six, it left numerous other opportunities go to waste, as evidenced by the team taking an incredible 44 shots in the match – 18 of which were on goal.

Although Oribe Peralta had a hat trick in the game, he was also one of the most guilty parties, letting several good chances go to waste.
