The Mexico men's national football team's match against Senegal on Wednesday night at Marlins Park was used by manager Juan Carlos Osorio to evaluate the players on the fringe of the first team and the young players coming through the system.

El Tri may not have played the sexiest match of football, but a few players were able to put their talents on display in Miami to leave a positive impression on the new Mexico boss.

The player who shined the brightest in the 2-0 victory over Senegal was 20-year-old Pachuca star Hirving Lozano. In his debut for the senior team, Lozano posed a constant threat to the Senegal back four on the left and right sides of the pitch.



Unfortunately, the young attacker had to wait until the 87th minute to contribute to a goal, when he distributed a ball into the middle of the penalty area for club teammate Rodolfo Pizarro to finish off.

Lozano's emergence may not directly influence the first team when they take to the pitch to play Canada in a pair of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers on March 25 and 29, but it could have a major impact on the squad that heads to Rio 2016 Olympics.

Not only is 2016 a massive year for the first team with World Cup qualifying and the Copa America Centenario, but El Tri are looking to make their mark at the youth level with a second consecutive Olympic gold medal.

The 2012 Olympic squad featured the likes of Hector Herrera, Diego Reyes, Raul Jimenez and Giovani Dos Santos. If Lozano were to extend his form into the summer, he could find himself in a key role for El Tri in their quest to repeat.

In addition to Lozano, Pizarro and Candido Ramirez made immediate impacts off the bench in Wednesday's victory. Within minutes of entering the pitch, Ramirez provided an assist on the opener netted by Jesus Duenas, while Pizarro was on the receiving end of Lozano's assist in the 87th minute.
