On date 1 of Group A of the Gold Cup, Mexico won a busy victory for 3 to 2 in the match he played against Rep. Dominican. The effectiveness of the Javier Aguirre squad, with the goals scored by Edson Álvarez (43 ′ 1T), Raúl Jiménez (1 ′ 2t) and César Montes (7 ′ 2t), contrasted with the imprecise definition of those led by Marcelo Neveleff, whose team could only score twice through Peter González (5 ′ 2t) (21 ′ 2t).
Peter González made the stadium vibrate with his definition, in the 5th minute of the second stage. After a band serve executed by Joao Urbez, the steering wheel executed a shot from the large area and the ball got into the right stick.
Raúl Jiménez was the figure of the party. The Mexico striker scored 1 goal and finished off the opposite arc on 5 opportunities.
Another important player in the game was Edson Álvarez. The Mexico midfielder was the author of 1 goal.
The technical director of Mexico, Javier Aguirre, raised a 4-4-2 strategy with Luis Malagón in the Arch; Jorge Sánchez, Israel Reyes, César Montes and Jesús Gallardo on the defensive line; Roberto Alvarado, Erik Lira, Edson Álvarez and Orbelín Pineda in the middle; and Santiago Giménez and Raúl Jiménez in the attack.
For their part, those led by Marcelo Neveleff stood with a 5-4-1 scheme with Xavier Valdez under the three sticks; Joao Urbez, Jimmy Kaparos, Cristian Mañón, Edgar Pujol and Noah Dollenmayer in Defense; Peter González, Jean López, Heinz Mörschel and Edarlyn Reyes in the middle of the court; and Dorny Romero in the lead.
Referee Oshane Nation was selected to carry out the shares of the game.
