The Mexicans were looking for their ticket to go to the World Cup in their match against El Salvador.

The national coach, Gerardo Tata Martino, faced another tough test, since it was the last opportunity to attend the World Cup. It is worth mentioning that Mexico has not had its best play off this year because they came into this game in third place on the table with 25 points, tied with the United States.

It was a party for fans at the Azteca stadium. Immediately the national team showed its superiority against the El Salvador team. It was a major improvement after their previous matches and one could see a different line-up used by the Argentine coach.

Mexico vs. El Salvador: Tricolor domination

The glorious Azteca stadium experienced the first 45 minutes of total domination by the tricolor team, where wingers Uriel Antuna and Alexis Vega were on the offense when it came to attacking. In the 17th minute on a corner kick that the Mexicans got ahead on the scoreboard.

A shot by Néstor Araujo had the Salvadoran goalkeeper make a great save but the Lagunero’s counter-shot pushed Mexico ahead on the scoreboard. At 43, another play by the Cruz Azul player, Antuna, caused the penalty where the specialist Raúl Jiménez sent the ball to the back of the net.

Is playoff still possible?

The fans were worried, since before the game there was the possibility that Mexico would not qualify directly. The playoff could have been possible if the Aztecs had lost this game. Combined with a win for Costa Rica, they would force it to go on goal difference.

It is worth mentioning that New Zealand is already waiting for a rival for the playoffs. Something similar happened in 2013, when Miguel Herrera took them to the World Cup in Brazil beating the same team. At that time Oribe Peralta stood out with his goals helping his team claim the victory. Filed Under: Mexico vs. El Salvador
