SOCHI, Russia -- Three quick thoughts from Mexico's 2-1 win over New Zealand in the group stage of the Confederations Cup on Wednesday.
1. A win to forget for Mexico
Mexico 2-1 New Zealand. It certainly doesn't read like the convincing scoreline El Tri fans were hoping for and there was very little of comfort for them, apart from Mexico scraping by and earning the three points.
Chris Wood put New Zealand into the lead three minutes before halftime and there was nothing fortunate about the side being in front at the break.
