The Jaime Lozano era started with a bang after Mexico crushed Honduras 4-0 score last night. Mexico went on the offensive from the start and surprised a weak Honduras side. Coach Lozano started his tenure in grand fashion, but will need to quickly turn his attention to Haiti, who won their first match against Qatar yesterday just prior to the Mexico-Honduras matchup for the sole top spot in Group B.
The match began with the surprise of Edson Alvarez starting at CB to cover the spot of the suspended Cesar Montes. Mexico jumped on top from the start and 50 seconds into the game, a bad Honduras clearance fell to Luis Romo, who fired from outside the area to beat Honduras’ goalkeeper, Luis Lopez, for the goal that gave Mexico the 1-0 lead.
