Marquez focuses on Mora's development in Mexico's draw with Peru

Mexico and Peru played to a 1-1 draw in a friendly match in Harrison, New Jersey. Gilberto Mora, Mexico's newly-anointed star, did not play, as coach Rafa Marquez aimed to protect the teenager from heightened expectations and physical strain. Marquez also rested several key players, prioritizing an upcoming match against the United States. After a lackluster first half, Mexico improved significantly after halftime, with Victor Guzman equalizing from a set piece. Despite the draw, there are concerns over the depth of the squad as some veterans struggled to make an impact.
