MIAMI (AP) — Jesus Duenas and Rodolfo Pizarro scored second-half goals to help Mexico beat Senegal 2-0 in an exhibition game Wednesday night.
Playing before a pro-Mexico crowd of 15,588 at Marlins Park, Mexico finally broke through in the 73rd minute on Duenas' strike. Candido Ramirez, who entered the match a minute earlier, centered a pass from the left wing to Duenas, who headed in a shot from the edges of the 6-yard box.
Mexico secured the victory on Pizarro's goal in the 87th minute. Pizarro retrieved Hirving Lozano's cross from the right wing and one-timed a shot from 8 yards past Senegal goalkeeper Pape Ndiaye.
Mexico improved to 3-0 since Juan Carlos Osorio took over as coach in November. Osorio used the match as a tuneup for Mexico's World Cup qualifier against Canada next month.
