Mexico and Peru draw 1-1 in international friendly in New Jersey FAST-MOVING
Mexico and Peru played to a 1-1 draw in an international friendly at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. The match served as a key preparation fixture for both sides under their respective managers, Rafael Márquez for Mexico and Mano Menezes for Peru.
Peru took the lead in the 26th minute through Jairo Vélez, who capitalized on a defensive error to score. Mexico responded early in the second half, with Víctor Guzmán equalizing in the 49th minute following a header from a set piece.
For Mexico, the match was part of a significant tactical overhaul by Rafael Márquez, who fielded an entirely different starting eleven compared to their previous match against Colombia to evaluate new talent. Despite the draw, Márquez expressed dissatisfaction with the team's collective performance, noting that there are still many areas to improve.
Conversely, the Peruvian side showed signs of improvement and greater defensive organization following a heavy defeat to the United States in their previous outing. The result provided a boost of confidence for the Peruvian squad as they continue their preparations for upcoming competitive fixtures.
