Mexico versus Cuba – Gold Cup: Second half review (Part 2)
In the 68th minute, Mexico added to their three goal advantage with Giovanni Dos Santos’ second goal of the matchup. This time the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 midfielder benefitted from some impressive build up play by Efraín Juarez.
Juarez raced past two Cuban defenders before squaring the ball towards Dos Santos whose finish left Cuba’s goalkeeper standing as the score line reached 4-0 at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 stadium in North Carolina.
Mexico went onto adopt a deep defensive approach by doing this they created space up front for off-the-ball movement of Javier Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 Dos Santos. While Cuba pushed onwards for their first goal of the match in order
to garner some respect from their travelling support, Mexico were rampant in their attacks. They were ruthless with their passing and incredibly efficient with the chances that fell their way.
In the 70th minute, Mexico opted to make a substitution as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Torres-c12575 entered
the field of play as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863
who made way for his team mate.
In the 76th minute, Mexico’s merciless goal scoring streak was evident when Elías Hernán Hernández produced another clinical through ball for Javier Hernandez. Both the namesakes combined to a great effect as Chicharito
netted his second goal of the encounter bringing his tally to five goals in two matches for Mexico in the Gold Cup.
Following Mexico’s fifth goal of the match, Cuba went dead in the match. Everything went wrong for them on the night as their 4-4-2 formation was run over by Mexico’s 4-5-1 setup. Their two man central midfield found it impossible
to compete against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956’s three man midfield powerhouse. Giovanni Dos Santos was the star of the show for Mexico as far as the midfield area was concerned. It was the Tottenham midfielder who dictated the tempo of the match for the home side as Cuba were
left stranded on several occasions in the encounter.
Finally the full time whistle brought an end to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 netted
two goals each and Jesús http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aldo-de-Nigris-c4369 scored a single goal for the Mexican national team in order to give them a huge boost before their encounter against U.S.A.
