Mexico striker Eduardo Herrera scored in the third minute to give "El Tri" a 1-0 victory over Paraguay on Tuesday in an international football friendly.
In the home stadium of American football's Kansas City Chiefs, the Mexico side won their second match of a US tour.
The Mexicans dispatched Ecuador 1-0 in Los Angeles last Saturday on a goal by Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, on loan from Manchester United to Real Madrid in the club campaigns.
Pumas forward Herrera provided all the offensive production Mexico needed thanks to a second solid defensive effort in a row.
The Mexicans stretched their lead in the all-time rivalry to 8-5 with four drawn.
Paraguay used the match as preparation for Copa America later this year in Chile while Mexico was testing talent ahead of July's Gold Cup, the North American showdown of national teams.
