A young El Tri showed their inexperience, winning their Gold Cup group but struggling in the process in a victory that didn't inspire confidence

SAN ANTONIO — Another opportunity presented, another opportunity missed.

This game was a chance for Mexico to make a statement of intent, for a young group to show it's ready not only to make a charge at the Gold Cup title but also for the top Mexico team.
