Burrell, realising that the general morale of the nation is low after the passing of Gustav, and that most football fans might be hard-pressed to come up with the funds at this time to fill the stadium, came up with a master plan to ease the situation.
Mexico could have easily said No to hosting the first leg of the tie, forcing the JFF to find a local venue, or worse, play on neutral grounds. instead, Burrell used his clout, in the process getting the Mexicans to agree to stage the first leg in Mexico city, at very short notice.
