Around 200 people arrived at the hotel where the Mexican National Team gathered before the match against El Salvador and for four hours they made a scandal, sang, danced, lit fireworks, ran into the avenues, interrupted traffic, insulted with the intention that the players did not sleep.
And the reality is that the selected ones hardly realized all the scandal that was outside.

The courage of Carlos Salcido, Francisco Javier Rodríguez, Jorge Torres Nilo, Édgar Andrade and Ángel Reyna stood out, almost as much as the authors of the goals, Jesús Zavala and Héctor Moreno, in one more of those tough, rocky matches, in which the Good football is not enough if it is not accompanied by a good dose of courage.
On September 2, 2016, Mexico visited the Cuscatlán Stadium already qualified for the Hexagonal, although they arrived at the match full of pressure.
That was the first game after the humiliating defeat in the Copa América Centenario, 7-0 against Chile, so a victory was necessary to alleviate the tension that weighed on the squad and Juan Carlos Osorio. Héctor Moreno, Ángel Sepúlveda and Raúl Jiménez scored, this from a penalty. Filed Under: El Salvador Vs Mexico
