Second-half goals from Gerardo Torrado, Carlos Vela, Giovani Dos Santos, Jose Castro and Guillerme Franco sealed the first win for Mexico in the US in 10 years.

"I believe this is a great win for Mexico because we showed the pride we have in our hearts today," Man of the Match Dos Santos said.

"This is a huge step for us in the process."
