🚨 Mexico Women back on track with win over Venezuela

CONCACAF outfit Mexico put an end to their recent poor run of form tonight after a comfortable 3-0 win over visiting Venezuela.

Scorers: Palacios 4β€², PΓ©rez 60β€², 73β€²

El Tri Femenil previously failed to win any of their previous six outings (0-1-5) dating back to their 3-2 win over Paraguay in March, but California-born forward Kiana Palacios set Mexico off with the opening salvo of the match thanks to a goal in the 4th minute.

The home side looked good value for their one-goal lead going into the halftime interval, with the state of play on the pitch suggesting that maybe Venezuela could count themselves lucky to not be down by a greater deficit.

Mexico would double their advantage in the 60th minute through second-half substitute Nicole PΓ©rez just one minute after she came off the bench to replace AylΓ­n AvilΓ©z, who had earned just her second cap after making her debut against the United States back in July.

It was PΓ©rez’s first goal for Mexico, with the 23-year-old Guadalajara native previously shining at both U17 and U20 level.

PΓ©rez would complete her brace 13 minutes later when she put Mexico out of sight on the night to make it three to the good at Estadio AgustΓ­n Coruco DΓ­az, and a night to remember for the young midfielder in what could be a budding international career.

Up next for Mexico is another test at home, this time against Thailand.
