The draw against Mexico made it a hat-trick of stalemates between the
two nations; in the last three duels, no team could profit from their
opportunities, despite victory being there for the taking.

filled to capacity with a partisan crowd of Mexican supporters but they
couldn’t tap into the advantage provided by the crowd.
