With a lot less effort than expected, Mexico enjoyed a good start to the CONCACAF U-20 Championship by crushing Nicaragua 7-0. While Nicaragua looked to be the second toughest side in their group, the reality was that they were outclassed the whole game as Mexico took an early lead inside two minutes and never let go. Nicaragua failed to create any danger and as the game went on, and Mexico’s better physicality and better stamina gave them complete control in the game. The only bad news was the injury to America’s Carlos Vargas, who had to leave the game after only 15 minutes and might miss the rest of the tournament.
