Three takeaways from Mexico's curse-breaking win against USMNT

Mexico snapped its losing streak against the U.S. men's national team at Columbus on Friday when it scored off a corner kick in the 89th minute to win 2-1 in World Cup Qualifying action.

U.S. had defeated Mexico 2-0 four straight times in Columbus, leading to the series nickname "dos a cero", but that was quickly dispelled when Miguel Layun struck for Mexico in the 20th minute.

Bobby Wood equalized in the 49th minute on a great piece of interplay with Jozy Altidore, but Mexico added a second goal with just a minute and stoppage time left on the clock.
