"DALLAS, Texas - Mexico's undefeated run is on the line as they face off against Colombia in an international friendly at AT&T Stadium on Saturday. El Tri, who have not lost in nine games, are looking to push their unbeaten streak to double digits.
For head coach Javier Aguirre, pragmatism has been the key to Mexico's success, avoiding defeat in nine straight games. "We've focused on finding the right mix of players in midfield," Aguirre said.
