The criticism of Italy coach Marcello Lippi is almost certain to increase after Mexico put the Azzurri to the sword with a thoroughly deserved 2-1 win at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
Carlos Vela opened the scoring early in the first half, and Mexico missed a number of chances to double their lead before substitute Alberto Medina finally made it 2-0 in the final 10 minutes. Defender Leonardo Bonucci scored a consolation for the hugely disappointing Italians, who were outplayed throughout, in the final minute.
