In front of a crowd of 105,000 crazy fans and televised on MUN2 Mexico defeated the United States 2-1 at Azteca Stadium one of the hardest places in the world to play as an away team. After taking an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Charlie Davies to help silence the screaming crowd. Mexico was able to mount two unstoppable attacks and take the lead 2-1 on their way to a much needed victory.
The win keeps 4th seeded Mexico hopes alive to make the World Cup as only the 3 top qualifying teams make it. As of now U.S is in first place and should qualify as long as they can win two of their final three games against Trinidad and Tobago Sept 9, Honduras Oct 10th, and Costa Rica Oct 14th.
