Gilberto Mora, 17, scored his first international goal for Mexico, securing a 1-1 draw against Colombia in Baltimore. This marked Rafael Marquez's debut as Mexico's coach. Mora, wearing the iconic number 10, equalized in the 62nd minute after Colombia's Luis Suarez, from Sporting, had opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a header assisted by Richard Rios. Mexico had earlier hit the post twice through Roberto Alvarado and Armando Gonzalez (Olympiakos). Marquez praised Mora, who is already attracting interest from top European clubs. Colombia's Jhon Arias also wore the number 10, previously held by the recently retired James Rodriguez. Kevin Viveros and Matias Orozco debuted for Colombia, who extended their unbeaten run against Mexico to five matches.
