Mexico's soccer team fails to score against Jamaica in Copa Oro

The Mexican national team has attracted just under 100,000 fans in the two matches it has played in the Gold Cup. After that, after rekindling the faith of its supporters, after starting off correctly against El Salvador, it showed itself to be an incapable team of causing any harm, and thus they sealed a 0-0 result.

The Tricolor did not showcase any of its most reliable qualities. The lack of precision, imagination, and effectiveness of the Tricolor was evident. They had possession of the ball, as usual, but lacked venom, malice in the attack. The skilled players did not make an appearance as in other matches of this team. There was no one to save the Mexican squad from the problem that has plagued them lately - complicating themselves in the second matches they play when it comes to a tournament or consecutive matches.

Now, Rodolfo Pizarro, one of the most talented players in the team, one of those fighting for a spot in the World Cup, did not perform. That is why he was substituted in the second half by Cesar Montes. Orbelin Pineda also did not have the magic and precise scoring ability that characterizes him. Erick Torres had chances that remained mere attempts. Elias Hernandez was also not the solution this time. They all had their brief moments of inspiration, but it was all in vain.

Mexico had a good opportunity when an opposing defender gave them the ball in enemy territory, but Orbelin took a shot that posed no real danger. However, the player from Chivas attempted on the left flank, almost reaching the end line, but was intercepted, and that was the end of the opportunity for the Tricolor.

Then, after a corner kick, the ball wandered around the field until it reached Cubo who, with a header, hit the post.

Jamaica threatened with a play in which Oniel Fisher was entering the zone defended by Moises Munoz, but Jesus Gallardo was attentive and covered well.

Mexico suffered from a collision between Cubo and Damion Lowe, as Cubo fell awkwardly and there were concerns about his right hand. It was just a momentary impact.

Little by little, the strong tackles between both teams began. Suddenly, the defense of the Tri allowed the opponents to enter easily, the only positive thing for them was that they couldn't provide the final touches.

The match was filled with inaccuracies, small fouls that interrupted the little dynamics that could be seen. The shots on goal that the Mexican team aspired to were from set pieces thanks to the previous situations.

Thus, they came close again, with a header from Molina, in which Jermaine Taylor prevented the goal.

Jamaica closed the match with their speedy attacks, but lacking precision. That saved the goal of Osorio's team.

There it was, like a drill, the Mexican team, although without the necessary precision to bring down the wall that the Jamaican team had become. Elias Hernandez dribbled past several opponents, moved towards the center, and took a shot, but the goalkeeper positioned himself well and there was no major issue.

Pompilio Paez and Humberto Sierra, Juan Carlos Osorio's assistants, gave instructions to the players while an opposing player was being attended to by their medical staff. Adjustments had to be made, surely Osorio was asking for modifications from his box, because this team was flat, because they had quality pieces that didn't explode, that have one good match and then lack in another one.

The clock ran out of time, the Tricolor ran out of resources, and the fans ran out of patience. Some shouts of "Osorio Out" were heard in the stadium. And then, it all ended in a goalless draw.
