G McCleary, J McAnuff & A Mariappa
Going into last night's match Mexico had won their previous 25 competitive games at the Azteca, with 19 straight wins in all competitions. In the pre-match betting the hosts were 2/11 to win but the bookies didn't count on a trio of in-form Royals to come along and spoil the party. Garath McCleary, Jobi McAnuff and Adrian Mariappa all started at the visitors held Mexico to a 0-0 draw.
McCleary performed well on his debut but McAnuff had a golden chance to give the Reggae Boyz a win, only to see his early effort crash against the post before missing the rebound with the goal gaping.
Even so it was a great result and puts them joint second after the first round of the final CONCACAF qualifiers, with the top three in the six team group progressing to Brazil.

J Henly
Netherlands U19 2-1 Scotland U19
Goalkeeper Henly 'played a part' for Scotland according to his Twitter account, although the Scottish FA haven't even published a match report so it's hard to know how much or how he played! Still, I can imagine the Netherlands' U19 team might be a bit good....
EDIT: Credit to @ReadingSportFan on twitter for spotting that Scotland's performance director Mark Wotte tweeted that Henly played 20 minutes.
