The Mexicans came out flying, perhaps getting the message they needed to impress Sven to keep their spot on the national team.
Mexico scored all four goals in the first half, including two in the first ten minutes. Mexico could easily have scored three or four more goals.
The third goal was the result of an error by Peru's goalkeeper, who let the ball to bounce over his head, resulting into a shot into an empty net.
Peru had three or four decent chances to score, but were stopped by Mexican goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez.
From the looks of things, I estimated the crowd at Soldier Field in Chicago to be about 45,000. The stadium holds 61,000.
One other bright spot was that the game was not affected by the heavy rain which is still falling here in Milwaukee, 100 miles from Chicago.
