Mexico's Layun problem, Fabian's case for Russia and more: Five Things from El Tri's win over Iceland

 

Goal looks back at the multipurpose man's double, the Frankfurt midfielder's chances of making the squad and more

Mexico didn't dominate Iceland but came away with a 3-0 victory Friday in the first of two March friendly matches.
With a number of El Tri's top players getting rest or playing limited minutes, it's hardly a match that should cause concern for Mexico. In fact, it allowed us to get clarity on which players are headed to Russia and who perhaps is in manager Juan Carlos Osorio's plans for the future.
We also can take plenty away from the match tactically, with Osorio again wandering from his 4-3-3 to play a five-man back line and shift things around in the midfield.
