MEXICO CITY — Young striker Alan Pulido marked his international debut with a hat trick as Mexico overcame past poor finishing woes with a crushing 4-0 win over South Korea in a World Cup warm-up in Texas Wednesday. Olympic gold medal-winning striker Oribe Peralta put the Mexicans ahead in the 37th minute when he turned and shot home from Miguel Ponce's left cross in the friendly at the Alamodrome in San Antonio, Texas. The 22-year-old Pulido, showing predator instincts in tight situations in the area, got off the mark on the stroke of halftime touching the ball home in a goal-mouth melee. He added two goals in the final four minutes in counter-attacks for Mexico. — Reuters
