He added "World Cup is left" on his list of objectives and that "everyone fights for a spot" in reference to him looking to get on the starting eleven.

In an interview with ESPN after the match Joe Corona was asked about the current state that the Mexican National Team finds itself in which at the moment they would completely miss out on the World Cup.

"yes, it is surprising what is happening with the Mexican National Team, in previous games it was obvious that something wasn't working. It is a very drastic situation for them" commented Corona.
