Re-live our live coverage of New Zealand's World Cup qualifier against Mexico MEXICO have crushed New Zealand 5-1 in the first leg of their intercontinental World Cup play-off at the Azteca Stadium as they all but seal their spot in Brazil next year. The home side, who have not missed a World Cup finals since 1990, rebounded from a shocking group stage to return to form against the nervous All Whites outfit. The home side went to the break 2-0 up, and continued to dominate possession and territory as they piled another three goals in the second term. The scoreline could have been a lot worse but for a remarkable display between the sticks by Glen Moss, who pulled off a number of eye-catching saves. Both sides meet for the second leg in Wellington on Wednesday. We brought you live coverage of the contest, which you can re-live in our blog, below.
