The Mexico National Team failed to violate the Trinidad and Tobago goal at the start of the Gold Cup 2021 . Despite the repeated arrivals to the rival goal, and the superiority with respect to the control of the ball: with 83% of possession, El Tri takes a single point in its premiere.

The negative note of the first time occurred due to the chilling blow suffered by Hirving “Chucky” Lozano in the minute 10. Later, the dominance was maintained and the arrivals to the arc of Trinidadian Marvin Phillip continued.

The lack of calm at the time of defining condemned the selection Mexican to the tie. Orbelín Pineda missed a clear goal opportunity at minute 30.

😩❌⚽ Orbelín gave it to the goalkeeper!

Great play by Mexico that cannot end in a goal

; However, in the compensation time there was controversy when the main referee decided to annul a goal, without even going to the VAR to review, after a good play in attack by Mexico.

The referee signals out of place. There is no goal
