US 1 Mexico 0
First Published: Apr 04, 2002US striker Clint Mathis scored his third goal in two games in Denver Colorado to beat Mexico 1-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly.
Mexico goalkeeper Oscar Perez brought down his own defender Manuel Vidrio in the 66th minute as both players tried to cut out a hopeful cross by Carlos Llamosa and the ball ran lose to Mathis who struck in the chance.
Mexico are considering a recall for veteran goalkeeper Jorge Campos for the World Cup finals in May and Perez' misjudgement last night may hasten the return of the acrobatic veteran.
Mathis scored twice in a defeat against Germany last week and his movement was impressive throughout in a game dominated by the US.
