In only two minutes, El Tri doubled their lead, as Hirving Lozano linked up with Funes Mori, who found the top corner.<\/p>\n

Mexico continued where they stopped six minutes after the break, as Herrera grabbed his brace. Jonathan dos Santos added the final goal in the 77th minute.<\/p>\n

Two players dropped from Super Eagles\u2019 squad to face Mexico<\/p>\n

It is good preparation for them ahead of their 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign which will begin on July 11.<\/p>\n

For Nigeria, Gernot Rohr will probably not be impressed by the team, which was made up of players from the domestic league.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles were completely dominated in chance creation and ball possession, struggling against superior opponents.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s result extended Mexico\u2019s dominance over Nigeria after theie six games.<\/p>\n

El Tri have now won three games and the West Africans remain winless after three outings ended in a draw.<\/p>\n
