Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago play to another thrilling draw in Ricardo Ferretti’s

The Mexican press hasn’t waited for Ferretti’s permission to voice displeasure or concern about the squad with the loudest criticisms coming about the omission of brothers Giovani and Jonathan dos Santos and Guillermo Ochoa, Mexico’s No. 1 goalkeeper in the Gold Cup-winning campaign.

Glenn slide tackled the ball away and laid it off to Cummings, who finished the job at the 39th minute mark. Chicago Fire midfielder Joevin Jones took the free kick, sending the ball sailing through the wall of Mexican players and past stunned goalkeeper Alfredo Talvera in the 69th minute.

Less than two months after an eight-goal thriller draw between the sides in the CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage, the countries met for the second time this summer in a friendly on Friday night at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, playing to another exciting goalfest draw, this time by a 3-3 score.

The two-goal deficit was against the run of play – Mexico controlled the match before that – but it also reflected a fast-moving, counterattacking style that suited plucky underdogs Trinidad and Tobago well against a Mexico side that was intent to show a creative, attacking style. Jorge Torres Nilo earned the assist with a precision cross to the middle of the penalty area, giving the Mexican team an invaluable goal heading into the locker room at halftime.

Coach Bruce Arena is just simply shocked to keep Dos Santos out since Mexico will play Trinidad and Tobago over the weekend and Argentina on Tuesday.

Portugal-based forward Raul Jimenez replaced him to immediate effect, scoring an equalizer with his second touch of the game.

The Benfica forward smashed it with his right foot after a clever pass from Esquivel.

One player who is included in the squad won’t be playing Friday against Trinidad and Tobago, Ferretti said.

“They have a number of quality players, but we scored on our very first attempt and then we also got the second goal”, he said. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, who just completed a transfer to Bayer Leverkusen, stayed in Germany to join his new club in a friendly match.
