The Mexican Under-23 Team fell 2-4 against Argentina in a bipolar performance in which they were able to come back from a two-goal deficit, but which was then diluted in a second half in which they completely disappointed.
El Tri started the game very well, they took the ball and looked dangerous in the Argentina area, who decided to come out with the ball and after 10 minutes it worked.
Lucas Beltrán lowered a ball from 40 meters, entered the area and Emilio Lara knocked him down so that the whistler declared a clear penalty that Thiago Almada defined very well to make it 0-1 in Mazatlán.
The process of the match continued and in the second approach in the first half, Argentina increased the score with a gem from Matías Soulé. The midfielder appeared in the area, made a peculiar jump to settle in and hit it with three fingers in the air to make it 0-2 against a Tri who was not on the court.
After half an hour of play came Mexico’s reaction.
Etson Ayón stole the ball, made a great wall with Marcelo Flores and then finished well by slapping the ball in the area and hitting the post for the 1-2 discount.
Ozziel Herrera sent a second warning with a good header that goalkeeper Iacovich covered well, but at the end of the first half the equalizer came courtesy of Jordan Carrillo.
The Santos player lowered the ball with his chest in the area, finished with his right leg and the Argentine goalkeeper blocked the ball so that it went up and when it fell it was inside the goal to make it 2-2 before halftime.
The second half began with a good rhythm for the Mexican Under-23 Team, but the bucket of cold water soon arrived, when Alex Padilla blocked a shot but his reaction was late to block the rebound and Lucas Beltrán, who arrived like a train, pushed the 2-3.
Mexico tried to react, but there was only a flash with a shot from Montaño and it was Argentina that ended the game when Solari stole the ball, made a spectacular feint on Ramón Juárez and left the ball for Beltrán to sign the final 2-4.
Both teams will meet again next Monday in Puebla as part of the albiceleste’s preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
