New Zealand vs. Mexico Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction
Mexico sealed their place at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in style by downing New Zealand 4-2.
Their 5-1 win in the first leg at home meant it was always going to be near-impossible for the Kiwis to stage a comeback, and after a frenetic, end-to-end start, El Tri's quality began to shine through.
A first-half hat-trick from Oribe Peralta put the tie beyond the reach of Richard Herbert's men, and despite a late-goal flurry from the home side, New Zealand bows out second-best.
The home crowd turned up in their droves to cheer the All Whites on in style, and they found their voice early when Marco Rojas embarked on several dazzling dribbles through the centre of the pitch.
