Far from home, El Tri finally gets job done

[NEW ZEALAND-MEXICO] Mexico will probably take fourth place in the Hexagonal every time if that means playing New Zealand in the playoffs. Thanks to an Oribe Peralta hat trick, El Tri needed only 123 minutes to score more goals (8) against the All Whites than it did in the 10-game Hexagonal (7) en route to a 4-2 winthat clinched the intercontinental playoff series, 9-3, on aggregate.
