The Mexican side, known as El Tri, were dominant throughout the match played at the United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum. Hector Herrera gave the Mexican side the lead after two minutes, while Rogelio Funes extended their lead two minutes later. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the game was almost like an overkill as the Mexicans had eight corner-kicks while their opponents had only two. The Super Eagles could only muster four shots at goal, with none on target, as against 20 by the Mexicans who had 11 of them on target. It was also part of Nigeria’s preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
