U.S. wins at Mexico for first time ever

Posted: August 16, 2012

MEXICO CITY - Former Union defender Michael Orozco Fiscal scored in the 80th minute to give the United States its first-ever win at Mexico with a 1-0 victory in an international friendly on Wednesday night.

Brek Shea, who entered two minutes earlier, went down the left flank and around Severo Meza and crossed to Terrence Boyd. Boyd made a quick backheel pass to Orozco Fiscal, who had entered in the 77th.

Orozco Fizcal scored past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa for his first international goal.

The U.S. had been 0-23-1 against El Tri in 75 years of games at Mexico, including 0-19-1 in the thin air in Mexico City - where they have been outscored 81-14.

The game marked the start of the Americans' second year under coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
