The US was able to walk away on Tuesday evening with a 1-0 victory over Mexico. Both sides actually played a young line up, with Mexico fielding 4 players 21 or younger, the US, 6. The first half started rough, with Mexico dominating possession. However, after Weston McKennie was forced out for Julian Green due to an injury late in the first half, the team began to play better. But it’s hard to say more about what we got from this game because, in the 67’ minute, Angel Zaldívar committed a bad tackle on Wil Trapp and was sent off, reducing Mexico to 10 men.
