Mexico vs New Zealand 4-0 All Goals & Highlights (THEPIRATESOLD)

MEXICO CITY — Mexico dismantled New Zealand 5-1 in a key World Cup qualifying playoff game in Mexico City on Wednesday.

Barring a miracle in the second leg of the two-game series, Mexico will qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Coach Miguel Herrera picked a controversial roster of players based exclusively in the Mexican domestic league, but it paid off. El Tri had its best performance in more than a year, overwhelming New Zealand early and then pouring on the goals in the second half.

Missing the World Cup would cost the Mexican economy $600 million. But that doesn't appear to be in the cards.
