Mexico fell 3 to 2 against Ecuador, in a test with young players with projection for the Mexican National Team in the short and medium term

Mexico succumbed to Ecuador in the friendly game held by both teams in the United States, which served for Gerardo Martino, Tricolor’s technical director, to evaluate more options for the end of the year and the Concacaf qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Between defensive oversights, individual performances and the novice of some players, it was how Mexico succumbed before the eyes of thousands of countrymen who gathered at the Bank of America Stadium.

Next, in ESPN Digital we present the reasons for this result.

Defensive mistakes

The ‘Tata’ put Haret ortega and Jesus Angulo like central defenders, but these elements have never played together before, a situation that was noticed in the little coordination between the two.

In addition, for the bands, at the beginning, they were Jose David Ramirez and Osvaldo Rodriguez. It was through the bands where the Tricolor suffered the most. Even the first two goals of the South American team were on the right wing, where José David Ramírez made his debut as a full-back in that area and suffered.

Janner corozo He was the one who exhibited Ramírez for the band and he got lost in the mark a couple of times for them to arrive on that side of the Mexican band.

First times

Defensive errors were noted due to poor understanding of some elements, especially in defense. For the Ecuadorians’ third goal, Haret Ortega and Angulo were lost in a rebound that Walter Chalá took advantage of.

This provoked claims from the two goalkeepers, since both Jonathan Orozco, What Rodolfo Cota, they asked for explanations for the way in which the goals of the South Americans came.

Individual sparkles

In the end, Mexico came closer on the scoreboard thanks to the efforts and flashes of its elements. Players like Santiago Gimenez they were able to shine and influence the offensive action of the Tricolor.

The ‘Chaquito’ gave the assistance for the first goal and collaborated in the play of the second goal. Similarly, Fernando Beltran He was solid in the midfield towards the offensive, since the balls he had were distributed in a good way towards the attack field.
