A revamped Mexican team, led by interim coach
Jaime Lozano, scored less than a minute into the game through
midfielder Luis Romo, who then headed home from a corner in the
22nd minute to make it 2-0.
Orbelin Pineda scored six minutes after the break to put the
game out of reach before midfielder Luis Chavez took the ball
from defender Devron Garcia to score Mexico's fourth goal in the
64th minute.
"We did a very good job, all the players are interested in what
the coach (Lozano) proposes, we have to be confident, this is
the first step of a long path," Pineda said.
The change in the Mexican team's mindset left both fans and
players satisfied, with Lozano saying there is plenty of room
for improvement.
"I am very happy for the faith in me from the players, the
people and the directors. This is a new beginning," he added.
The win leaves Mexico top of Group B. They face second-placed
Haiti on Thursday while Honduras take on Qatar.
