Mexico vs. Iceland, live stream: Game time, TV schedule, lineups, updates: Layun strikes twice, Mexico win 3-0

FINAL SCORE, Mexico 3, Iceland 0: Miguel Layun scored twice as the Mexico national team earned a 3-0 win over Iceland.

After a shaky first few minutes where Iceland twice tested Jose de Jesus Corona, El Tri grabbed the breakthrough a stunning free kick from Marco Fabian.

The second half was riddled with changes, including Hirving Lozano coming on at halftime. 20 minutes into the second period, Hirving Lozano took advantage of a mistake in the Iceland midfield to put Miguel Layun into space. The Sevilla fullback made no mistake to double the lead for Mexico.

With the clock winding down, there was still time for a Mexican third. Miguel Layun launched what appeared to be a bad cross that somehow floated above the opposing goalkeeper to seal the deal for Juan Carlos Osorio’s men.

Mexico next take the field on Tuesday when they take on Croatia at AT&T Stadium.

Lineups

With just a pair of months to go until the start of the World Cup, the Mexico national team return to the stadium where they suffered their most famous defeat in recent decades when they take on Iceland at Levi’s Stadium on Friday.

The home of the San Francisco 49ers is only four years old but it already carries a painful memory in the heart of all El Tri fans. Two years later, Mexico hope to move on from that unfortunate episode and give fans from the Bay Area something to cheer about ahead of Russia 2018.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, you probably already know Iceland is one of the teams to watch in Russia. After a quarterfinal finish in Euro 2016, Iceland have carried their momentum all the way to a berth in their first ever World Cup and hope to make things difficult for El Tri.

Delving into the match itself, for a lot of these Mexican players this is their last big test ahead of the unveiling of the 23 players that will travel to Moscow to take on Germany on June 17. There is also, of course, tactical similarities between Iceland and Sweden, Mexico’s last group stage opponent at the World Cup.

Unfortunately, Juan Carlos Osorio will be without several key players due to a never-ending list of injuries. Among those missing for this match include the dos Santos brothers, Hector Herrera, Jurgen Damm, and Javier Aquino.

With the clock ticking towards Russia, there is sure to be plenty of conclusions to take from this match. The question is will Mexico exorcise their demons in the process or will the Vikings conquer the west?
