The Mexican national team were unable to defeat La Liga's Valencia, drawing 2–2 in the friendly where Mexican fans ended up booing El Tri for its lackluster performance.
Against a team that featured many players that play in Valencia's third division side, El Tri was unable to maintain a 2–0 lead and ended up drawing the match, once again displaying issues in all aspects of the game.
Javier Aguirre started the match with an alternative starting XI, but it was still a very poor performance—especially in the second half—from a team that featured a number of players that hadn't played together before. The fans in the Estadio Cuahutémoc in Puebla booed El Tri off the field at full-time.
The tune-up game should've helped El Tri to gather some sort of momentum before facing the USMNT on Oct. 15. Instead, there's even more doubts about how this struggling team can get a positive result from its upcoming clash against its northern neighbors.
