Mexico got back on the right foot.....at least somewhat...as they defeated bottom feeders Trinidad 2-1 in Mexico City Wednesday night. It was supposed to be an easy match to get Mexico back in the hunt for South Africa 2010, but as we have found nothing comes easily for Mexico.
A flying start which earned the home side a quick 1-0 lead thru Guillermo Franco turned sour as a give away in the midfielded led to Trinidad tying the match. Hayden Tinto stepped onto a poor pass from Andres Guardado and ran at the Mexican backline. His shot from 20 yards out found the top right corner to stun the home side.
Mexico once again started strong as they grabbed the lead back just two minutes into the 2nd half with a wonderful long range shot from Oscar Rojas. There was no relief though as Trinidad pushed to equalize, but were unable. A win but a shaky one at that for Mexico.
The win pushed Mexico up to 4th in the region at the halfway point of qualifying.
