This part of the preparation is key for the FIFA World Cup participants. Especially for the head coaches while they try to figure out the definitive details of their starting lineups for the main event. Mexico managed to defeat Iraq 4-0 in their first of the two international friendlies the national team coached by Gerardo Martino scheduled before Qatar 2022.
Mexico solved the match easily. The development was perfect for them since they went ahead very early. Alexis Vega was the scorer of the 1-0 that gave the Mexicans a lot of tranquility for the rest of the game. That happened again in the beginning of the second half via Rogelio Funes Mori to separate both sides a bit more. The one in charge of rounding up the score was Jesús Gallardo, while Uriel Antuna had the last word with his goal in the aggregate to leave things 4-0.
Mexico vs Iraq: Match preview
There are only a couple of days away from the beginning of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. That’s why National Teams such as Mexico will play some international friendly games. In this case Gerardo Martino's side is going against Iraq today at Municipal de Montilivi Stadium in the first of two warm-up matches before their WC debut against Poland.

Mexico is usually a very tough rival to beat in the World Cup. Although there is no doubt this time they won’t be arriving in a great shape or with a ton of confidence. The whole process of head coach Gerardo Martino has been under strict observation for a while, so the pressure is high. These types of contests could be very valuable for him since they will not have any margin for error in Qatar by sharing the group with Argentina, Poland, and Saudi Arabia.
Iraq, instead, are in a completely opposed mood because they will not be participating in the World Cup. Their path wasn’t that good in the Asian Football Confederation, even though they finished fourth. They were just three points behind UAE for a potential elimination game vs Australia towards the playoffs, but they only got one win in 10 appearances.
