Mexico beat New Zealand 5-1 to close on to World Cup Finals

Mexico took a big step towards the World Cup finals with a 5-1 win over New Zealand in the first leg of their qualifying play-off.

The Mexicans Oribe Peralta scored twice, with Paul Aguilar, Raul Jimenez and Rafael Marquez also on target for Miguel Herrera's team.

From the opposing camp, it was Chris James who grabbed a late consolation goal for the Oceania champions at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

The return leg will be held in Wellington next Wednesday.

It may be added that New Zealand qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after a play-off victory against Bahrain but Ricki Herbert's team now face an uphill task to repeat that feat.

Mexico humiliate Brazil to win Olympic Football Gold

Mexico humiliated hot favourites Brazil to win the men's Olympic football tournament for the first time at Wembley, London.

Mexico outscored champions of the champions Brazil 2-1, when the Brazilians were just thinking that they would just brush aside the Mexicans to win the gold. But they were really stunned to settle for the silver.

Although it was the first time for Brazil too to win the Olympic gold, but they were simply outclassed as the Mexicans edged over the Brazilians to win their first gold in Olympic football. Both goals were scored by Oribe Peralta.

El Salvador vs Mexico: Watch Free Live Streaming World Cup 2014 Qualifying

Tuesday night today, El Salvador comes face to face with Mexico in their series of qualifying round of the FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil.

So far Mexico is going good as they started off their qualification pursuits with a 3-1 win against Guyana on June 8. So when they meet El Salvador tonight, the Mexicans will be looking forward to continue their recent hot streak.

On the other hand, El Salvador is the No. 55 team in the world, as per FIFA World Rankings. With just one win in its last five matches, they may have difficulty confronting the superior offense and defense of the Mexicans, many analsysts believe.


In the last five matches, El Salvador has only won against Moldova, lost against Estonia, Honduras and drawn against New Zealand and Costa Rica.

Mexico on the other hand, has had a far better record of fours wins against Wales, Bosnia Herzegovina, Brazil and Guyana. They only lost to Colombia 0-2.

At best El Salvador can try for a draw, lest the technically more faster Mexicans take them over for a convincing win.

The match between El Salvador and Mexico is scheduled for Tuesday - Wednesday night, that is 12-13 June 2012 at 01:30 GMT.
