The Mexico national team delivered a surprisingly strong performance against a mighty opponent, drawing 1–1 vs. Belgium on Tuesday night in Chicago.
El Tri was vastly superior than Belgium in the first half, limiting it to one total shot, overwhelmingly dominating the midfield and looking menacing in the final third. An opportunistic Jorge Sánchez made Mexico’s superiority translate to the scoresheet when he tucked in a rebound to put Mexico ahead at the break.
