MLS: It was another historic result for the US national team under Jurgen Klinsmann, who successfully reduced the frequency and severity of Mexico chances at Azteca until a host of substitutes were able to stick the late dagger.
Despite all the excitement from a first-ever win south of the border, the victors did have some issues in dealing with the unusually sloppy hosts.
In the end, though, some late magic from Tim Howard and a solid showing from the green gatekeeper trio of Kyle Beckerman, Geoff Cameron and Maurice Edu provided the foundation for a "friendly" to remember.
