At the end of a tight match, Ireland and Mexico shared the spoils. Mexicans, runners-up of the last edition, struggled to create real chances against a well-organised side led by the captain Jayson Molumby. The best opportunity in this game was a free-kick from Jairo Torres that crashed against the crossbar.
The two teams boast now four points and share the first two places. Thanks to a better goal difference, Ireland are leading the group C after the Matchday 2.
