Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez scored in the first half, Erick Gutierrez and Uriel Antuna had late goals four minutes apart and Mexico defeated the U.S. men’s national team 3-0 in a friendly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Friday.
Hernandez made it 1-0 in the 21st minute; Gutierrez scored his first international goal in the 78th after just entering the match, and Antuna on the counter extended the lead to 3-0 in the 82nd.
Adding insult, U.S. forward Joshua Sargent’s penalty kick — the foul was drawn by Jordan Morris — was saved by Jonathan Orozco in the 88th minute.
The countries played for the first time since Mexico won 1-0 in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Chicago on July 7.
