**Mexico Ties with Valencia in Friendly Match**
The Mexican national soccer team returned to the Cuauhtémoc Stadium after several years, facing off against Spain’s Valencia in a friendly match. In a performance that left fans wanting more, Mexico was held to a draw by a Valencia team that fielded an alternate lineup, missing several key starters.
Guided by coach Javier Aguirre, Mexico initially grabbed a lead with a 2-0 advantage in the first half, thanks to goals from Alexis Vega, returning to the national team, and Ozziel Herrera. However, Mexico was unable to maintain this lead in front of a crowd of 40,000 spectators.
Despite their promising start, Mexico’s performance dwindled as the match went on. Valencia capitalized on Mexico’s weaknesses when out of possession. Dani Gómez stepped up, scoring twice to level the match. Gómez’s goals highlighted Mexico’s struggle to defend without the ball and left Aguirre visibly frustrated on the sidelines.
In the end, Mexico could not overcome one of Spain’s lower-ranked clubs, leaving fans and commentators questioning their competitive form.
