With Olympic qualifying on the horizon, Mexico's under-23 team closed the warm-up portion by sticking to a peculiar, chilling trend: not scoring.
Mexico played Finland to a scoreless draw Thursday in front of a crowd of 11,780 at Pizza Hut Park. It was Mexico's fifth and final match before beginning CONCACAF Olympic qualifying next week.
Mexico, which scored two goals in its first match against Chile on Feb. 19, failed to score on offense for the fourth consecutive game under coach Hugo Sanchez.
Only hours before the game, the Pizza Hut Park pitch was buried by about four inches of snow. Despite the frigid conditions, Mexico showed promise on offense and a solid passing game while setting up shots at Finland's midfield.
