Mexico sent out a warning to Nigeria cruised with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Panama in an international friendly on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tennessee.
El Tri opened the scoring after Romo sprung Lainez on the counter-attack for a run down the right flank, with the Real Betis winger finishing it off with a smooth shot past keeper Jose Calderon.
Montes doubled the lead in the 57th minute with a header toward the far post off of Alexis Vega’s corner kick.
It was one of the warm up games lined up for Mexico ahead of this year’s Concacaf Gold Cup.
Up next for the Mexicans is another friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Los Angeles, USA.
The last time both teams clashed was in another friendly which ended goalless in 2014.
