Tecatito's Silky Move Leads to Great Goal for Mexico
Jesus "Tecatito" Corona is nicknamed after a famous Mexican beer. His play lives up to that nickname as he scored a beautiful goal that has football fans watching it on repeat. Mexico faced off against Canada at Estadio Azteca in the semi final round of CONCACAF WCQ. Mexico's professionalism and clinical skill on the pitch allowed for a high possession percentage and their attacking prowess created a penalty and Tecatito's clean finish. Just before the first half ended, Tecatito collected a cross, pulled off a sweet roulette to beat one defender and calmly slid the ball into the bottom left corner. The touch, move and finish was the final nail in Canada's proverbial coffin as they could not make up for the 2 goal deficit in the second half.
With the win, Mexico has moved on to the final round, known as "The Hex" and can put their focus on Copa America Centenario this summer.
