to give us a 3-1 victory. Fergie had this to say to MUTV
after the match:
"It got a bit competitive, which is a good thing, there's no
problem with that. Unfortunately we got a couple of bookings
but overall it was played in a good atmosphere and the crowd
was terrific. The Mexicans are very competitive people and
they are very passionate about the game and I think that
showed today. The welcome in Los Angeles has been fantastic.
I think with the Mexican influence here you get a more
passionate and football-minded partisan crowd.
"It would have been interesting to see if Club America had
scored first and made us chase the game. The atmosphere
would have been electric then. It was quite a difficult
game. It was quite warm out there and in the first half we
couldn't get much of a tempo going. But in the first 15
minutes of the second half we won the game. They were very
good goals and that's been the feature for us really, we've
scored very good goals over here.
"I didn't think they deserved a 3-1 defeat because in the
second half they put a lot into it and there was the typical
influence of their Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker playing two
wide players who stretched us a bit. But at the end of the
day, it's a good competent performance. They've had to work
hard and it's another game under their belt."
