Mexican run continues

AFP, Hannover
Mexico stretched their unbeaten run to 19 mat-ches with a 2-1 win over Zico's Japan in
the Confederations Cup here on Thursday.
Atsushi Yanagisawa gave the Japanese an early lead before playmaker Zinha's exquisite equaliser, with Jose Fonseca bagging the second half winner to put Ricardo Lavolpe's side temporarily top of Group B before Thursday's late match between Brazil and Greece.
Mexico made life difficult for the Asian champions especially from the air, a fact Zico readily acknowledged.
"A big problem for us today were the high balls. We're going to have to work to correct that for the next game. It was difficult for our goalkeeper.
"I didn't expect to lose but I'm calm, not uptight about it. We'll go back now and prepare hard for our next match against Greece.
"Mexico had good ball play, especially Zinha who set up most of their play. It's not for nothing
that their in the top ten of FiFA's rankings."
Lavolpe praised his side's mastery of the ball.
"We moved well and had very good control, which is the important thing.
"You always have to respect Japan, but we were a bit surprised by their speed at the start but we got stronger and became more aggressive."
Mexico, who beat Brazil to win the 1999 edition, were missing four first choice players on Copa Libertadores duty as well as injured Barcelona defender Rifael Marquez.
Japan, the first country to reserve their 2006 World Cup seat, welcomed back their best known stars, Fiorentina's Hidetoshi Nakata, and Shunsuke Nakamura, both suspended for their last game against North Korea.
Mexico went close to taking a seventh minute lead but Japan defender Akira Kaji headed away a floating shot from the right with keeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi beaten.
And the FC Tokyo player was soon instrumental in putting Japan ahead when in the 12th
minute he burst down the right flank, crossing to the waiting Yanagisawa who deftly flicked the ball with his backheel past keeper Oswaldo.
Mexico levelled in the 39th minute when a high ball fell to Zinha outside the area and with the Japanese defence asleep the Brazil-born midfielder had what seemed an eternity before lobbing it into the top right hand corner well out of reach of Kawaguchi's grasping hands.
To honour Zinha's third international goal a Mexican wave, what else, rippled round the half empty stadium which numbered Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger among the crowd.
West Brom's Atsuhiro inamoto replaced Nakamura on the hour and the premiership player was quick to get into the thick of things with a dangerous 30-yard shot which skimmed the wrong side of the crossbar.
But then second half substitute Luis perez crossed a high ball into the box for Fonseca to head home in the 64th minute to get Mexico's Confed Cup camapign off to the perfect start.
