Mexico National Team barely managed to win 2-1 on the first game of the FIFA window match against Jamaica in Kingston after being down on the score for most of the second half. It wasn’t until Rogelio Funes Mori was subbed that El Tri played better and was able to comeback.

Why did Gerardo Martino need El Tri’s victory over Jamaica?

When Diego Lainez, Gerardo Arteaga, Jesús Manuel “Tecatito” Corona and even Henry Martín jumped on the pitch, El Tri looked better and was able to score two goals in the same number of minutes, thanks to Henry Martín and Alexis Vega, who was one of the best Mexican players.

Vega one of the most consistent players throughout the entire game and was rewarded with the chance to score the second goal for Mexico and give them the victory, but it’s clear he needs someone to complement him on the other side of the pitch, and he knows Diego Lainez might be that person, even though Gerardo Martino doesn’t consider him to be a starter.

Why doesn’t Tata Martino start Diego Lainez?

The Argentinian coach knows of the talent the 21-year-old winger has, but his lack of playing time with Real Betis is the main reason why Martino is keeping him out of the starting XI, although after his performance against Jamaica, Martino might consider giving him a starting role on the game against Costa Rica.
