Erick Torres and the Mexico U-23 national team started their Olympic Qualifying campaign with a convincing 4-0 win over Costa Rica at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, Friday night.
After a Marco Bueno goal in the 19th minute of play, Torres extended El Tri's lead in first half stoppage time with a ridiculous back heel at the front post off a corner kick. The goal was later credited as an own goal on Costa Rica's William Fernandez, but it's still a nice piece of skill from the young striker.
