Mexico edges Ecuador on Eduardo Herrera goal

Mexico striker Eduardo Herrera scored in the third minute to give "El Tri" a 1-0 victory over Paraguay on Tuesday in an international football friendly.

In the home stadium of American football`s Kansas City Chiefs, the Mexico side won their second match of a US tour.

The Mexicans dispatched Ecuador 1-0 in Los Angeles last Saturday on a goal by Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, on loan from Manchester United to Real Madrid in the club campaigns.

Pumas forward Herrera provided all the offensive production Mexico needed thanks to a second solid defensive effort in a row.

The Mexicans stretched their lead in the all-time rivalry to 8-5 with four drawn.

Paraguay used the match as preparation for Copa America later this year in Chile while Mexico was testing talent ahead of July`s Gold Cup, the North American showdown of national teams.
