Rogelio Funes Mori had a hard farewell from the Aztec Stadium in the Mexico-Costa Rica. The Monterrey striker was replaced by 61′, adding his fourth consecutive game without scoring with El Tri, and the Aztec public not only noticed him, but recriminated him as soon as he came out: the Mellizo was booed .
Funes Mori left his position to Henry Martin, whom the Azteca received with applause. But when he left, the boos for him were notorious . The public is more demanding than ever, and it is not for less, Mexico does not score goals easily and its way to Qatar was complicated 2022.
The nationalized Mexican scored a goal against 32′, but it was annulled by the VAR. He then did not have another clear opportunity to open the scoring. Rogelio Funes Mori’s last goal with El Tri was 04 October 2021, in the 3-0 win against Honduras.
Critical moment for Mellizo with the Mexican team.
