The play occurred 28 minutes into the game. 'Aladino' was pressed against the sideline after a throw-in and escaped the marking of three opponents with a pass to Tapia, who controlled the ball and put it into the center of the area for the Al-Hilal forward.

Carrillo gave direction and power to his delivery, causing goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa to stretch to the maximum, but the ball passed inches from the left post of the Mexican goal.

Peru and Mexico finished the first half of the preparation match at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, Los Angeles (California) without goals. The Mexicans are preparing for the group stage of Qatar 2022, while the national team faced its first challenge with an eye on the next qualifiers.
