Pulido pots three as Mexico stuns South Korea

Alan Pulido scored three goals as Mexico routed South Korea 4-0 in a friendly at the Alamodome Stadium on Wednesday ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Oribe Peralta opened the scoring in the 36th minute before Pulido hammered home a rebound at 45 minutes followed by two more goals in the 86th and 89th minutes. The victory gives Mexico the win in the first of three World Cup warm up games in the USA. The South Koreans were coming off a 1-0 victory Saturday in Los Angeles over Costa Rica. This marked Mexico`s sixth all-time win over South Korea to go with three losses and two draws. South Korea play in World Cup Group H versus Belgium, Algeria and Russia in the World Cup finals later this year. Mexico are in Group A along with host Brazil, Croatia and Cameroon.
