At the start of the management of technical director Javier Aguirre (Mexico), he scored a 3-0 win against Nueva Zelanda while playing among friends at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Los Angeles, in front of 25,271 spectators.
The opening lasted five minutes until Orbelín Pineda met a media band near the area.
Max Crocombe, New Zealand architect, left the arched bridge on three occasions. On September 9 and 17, Santiago Giménez and, 37 years later, a guide from César Montes left.
Kosta Barbarouses tested the Mexican porter Raúl Rangel, who reached the gap with 45+1.
At 45+2, the Mexican team was about to mark a second year with a cruiser from Luis Romo who plunged into the Palo.
In the second half of the 47th lap, Pineda went crazy on the Kiwis’ field.
On matchday 53, one minute before the game, César Huerta scored the 2-0 goal with a hat in the quarter-finals ahead of Romo.
On matchday 57, Romo won a frontal attack 3-0 against the defense defeated by Liberato Cacace.
Near Martes, Mexico, a new friend was playing against Canada in Arlington, Texas, while Nueva Zelanda was sparring the United States in Cincinnati, Ohio.
