Hector Herrera scores brace as Mexico beat Nigeria’s Super Eagles 4-0 in the US

Mexico beats Nigeria 4-0 Mexico beats Nigeria 4-0

Mexico thrashed Nigeria's Super Eagles 4-0 in an international friendly game played at the United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum on Sunday, July 4.

The Tricolor got the game started on a very bright side with Atletico Madrid's Hector Herrera opening the scoring for his South American side just after two minutes of action.

They rattled Nigeria Professional Football League stars who were yet to settle to into the game with the early goal.

And just when the Nigerian stars were still finding their feet in the game, Rogelio Fumes Mori doubled Mexico's lead in the fourth minute and dominated most part of the game.

Though the home-based Eagles tried their best, they were just too quick to pass the ball and couldn't hold possession for a straight 60 seconds or more.

The game got worse for them after Hector Herrera made it three for the hosts in the 52nd minute as he benefited from a rebound just outside of the 18-yard box.

Meanwhile, substitute Jonathan dos Santos also got his name on the scores sheet after a superb volley from close range to make it four for the South Americans.

Anayo Iwuala made some brilliant runs in the game but he doesn't seem like he had anyone who understood his moves.

Ibrahim Sanusi also delivered some crosses and his deliveries were not engaged by his teammates with the Mexicans easily convert their defending to attacking moves and terrorising the Nigerian team.
