Mexico arrived in Columbus, Ohio to open the Hexagonal round of World Cup qualifying intent on ending the "Dos a cero" tradition. Thanks to a dominant first half and a late set-piece tally, El Tri did just that with a 2-1 victory.
Positives
It's difficult to pull many positives from the match for the U.S., as the team saw a 15-year unbeaten run in home World Cup qualifiers come to an end against its biggest rival. Bobby Wood's play was the highlight of the evening for the Stars and Stripes, and he combined well with Jozy Altidore in what Jurgen Klinsmann will hope is a sign of things to come.
