Copa America 2016: Mexico 3-1 Uruguay - 5 talking points

2) The Jekyll and Hyde of Mexico

Mexico struggled when they had the numerical advantage

El Tri were the better side when both teams had the same number of players on the field, but appeared slightly shackled when they were a man up, showing both their good and bad sides.

For the opening 45 minutes, Mexico dominated the proceedings and went into the break with a goal and a man up. However, the second half seemed more tilted towards Uruguay, who appeared superior, but only until Mexico themselves lost a man.

Thereafter, The Tricolour wrestled back the control of the game and eventually emerged triumphant. This fluctuation in Mexico’s display was something strange and inexplicable.
