U.S. MNT Extends Unbeaten Streak against Mexico to Record Six Games
April 16, 2015 - National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) News Release
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The U.S. Men's National Team defeated archrival Mexico by a score line of 2-0 behind goals from Jordan Morris and Juan Agudelo in front of a sell-out crowd of 64,369. The win extended the USA's unbeaten streak against Mexico to a record six games (3-0-3), pushed the U.S. MNT's current unbeaten streak on home soil to 21 games (18-0-3) and marked the ninth USA victory over Mexico by that familiar score line since 2000.
Twenty-year-old Morris, a sophomore at Stanford University, put the U.S. ahead after running onto a deflected ball and finishing under a sliding goalkeeper in the 49th minute.
In the 65th minute, Juan Agudelo replaced Morris, and on a Michael Bradley assist doubled the American lead. It was Agudelo's first appearance since he last came on as a sub in the U.S.'s c0104d0987a2c4406430eda98 game against Ukraine on March 5, 2014 and his first goal since 438a8e2eb71203b3a6a9142b6 he scored against Argentina on March 26, 2011.
The result pushed the USA's all time record against Mexico to 18-32-14. The U.S. MNT will be in Europe next time it convenes, facing off with the world's No. 6-ranked team, Netherlands, in Amsterdam on June 5. The match kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, WatchESPN, UniMas and Univision Deportes Network.
