#2 Hirving Lozano lit up the stage in a 20-minute cameo

Hirving Lozano was an absolute treat to watch since coming off the bench. The Napoli winger ran his socks off, injected much-needed pace and intelligence to proceedings and capped off his sublime effort with an assist for the third goal.

He dragged a shot wide just moments after coming on in the 70th minute, but more importantly, it was the build-up to the strike and the cohesion displayed by Lozano and the ones around him that grabbed many eyeballs.

Carlos Rodriguez played him in - credit Lozano for his positioning, but the 24-year-old should have probably scored from his first shot of the day. Since then, Lozano continued to cause trouble to the opposition, as he skipped past challenges with ease, beat defenders and was fantastic with the ball.

He displayed how good he can be on the counter as well, with a fine assist for Mexico's third goal.
