The 20-year-old Stanford University student opened the scoring when
he pounced on a loose ball and fired a right-footed shot past the
Mexican keeper from about 10 yards in the 49th minute at a sold-out
Alamodome crowd of 64,369.
Morris, a Seattle native who has yet to play a professional game, is
the first college player to appear for the U.S. in two decades. He
was substituted in the 65th minute.
Juan Agudelo added a second American goal with a fierce shot from
just outside the box in the 72nd minute.
Mexico created few chances in a match played on an uneven surface
which detracted from the quality of the spectacle.
