Watch: Mexico shreds USMNT with lightning-fast counter-attack

Counter-attacking 101.

The Estadio Azteca, a fortress for Mexico, was temporarily stunned by a brilliant Michael Bradley goal early in the opening half of Sunday's World Cup qualifier against the United States, but Carlos Vela got the crowd back into the contest by leveling proceedings in the 23rd minute.

After the Americans had an opportunity from a corner kick at one end, the host side came roaring back on the break, and the 28-year-old attacker finished off the lightning-quick counter with a fierce low drive.
