Mexico wins over USA 5-0!

 

Consider the first half a warm up, with both sides having few goal opportunities.

 

But on the second half, Mexico took control of the game.  Gerardo Torrado scored a penalty goal on the 55^th minute, which gave the Mexican team the lead and the confidence to press on. Soon after, Giovani Dos Santos scores goal number 2 on the 61^st minute.

At minute 66, Carlos Vela puts his team ahead 3-0. Jose Antonio Castro, who just kicked the ball as keeper Troy Perkins was on the floor: 4-0. Then, as if the US had not had enough, Guillermo Franco scored goal number 5 and the Mexican team earned the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009.
