El Tri of Mexico increased their chances of qualifying for the World Cup as they recorded an emphatic 5-1 win over New Zealand in the first leg of their qualifying play-off at the Azteca stadium. First-half goals from Paul Aguilar and Raul Jimenez put Mexico 2-0 ahead at the break, Oribe Peralta then extended the lead with a brace before Rafa Marquez added a fifth with six minutes remaining.New Zealand pulled a goal back soon after through Chris James but that is likely to be little more than a consolation with their World Cup hopes now looks doubtful.The second leg of this match will be played next Wednesday in Wellington.
