WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Mexico qualified for the World Cup after beating New Zealand 4-2 in the second leg of an inter-continental playoff Wednesday, bringing an end to one of its most troubled and divisive qualifying campaigns. Striker Oribe Peralta followed his double in the opening leg with a hat trick at Wellington to send his team to Brazil with an emphatic performance that left memories of recent difficulties at least partly erased. Mexico advanced with an aggregate score of 9-3 over the two legs. Mexico shed three coaches during a 10-match campaign in the CONCACAF confederation, during which it won only two games and scored just seven goals to finish fourth and to face the trial of a playoff with Oceania champions New Zealand for a World Cup spot. Under Miguel Herrera, loaned to the national team by the Mexican Leagues Club America, El Tri convincingly beat New Zealand both home and away to keep up its record as one of the most consistent of World Cup qualifiers. "We were expecting to be in the World Cup a long time ago but it wasnt like that," Mexican keeper Moise Munoz said. "So we had to play a couple of games more to be there. It was really tough and we expected it to be tough here in New Zealand. "They fought like warriors to the last minute and they deserve the credit also." Herrera chose not to select players based in Europe or elsewhere for his playoff against New Zealand, naming a starting lineup of locally-based players which included seven players from his own club. His team justified that policy and Herrera, having ended a period of instability in Mexico soccer, now hopes to be rewarded with a longer-term contract. Peralta had a hat trick before halftime as Mexico cut to pieces New Zealands defence which, after being too deep in Mexico, pushed too far forward Wednesday and was consistently exposed. Mexico opened up New Zealand on the flanks and, when it centred possession, found Peralta unopposed. Peralta scored in the 14th minute after taking a pass from Juan-Carlos Medina and chipping over oncoming goalkeeper Glen Moss. He scored again in the 28th minute when New Zealand was exposed on the left flank and for a third time in the 33rd minute. New Zealand pulled a goal back when Chris James scored from the penalty spot in the 79th minute. Striker Rory Fallon, whose goal against Bahrain on the same ground almost exactly a year ago sent New Zealand to the 2010 World Cup, scored four minutes later when he side-footed a close-range shot wide of Munoz. Carlos Pena then sealed the win for Mexico with a goal five minutes from fulltime. "Were just a bit disappointed we couldnt get that equalizer," New Zealand captain Tommy Smith said. "Obviously we strung a few more passes together tonight and hopefully that bodes well for the future." New Zealand had one scoring chance in the first half from a penalty in the 38th minute when striker Jeremy Brockie hurled himself to the ground at the feet of Munoz. The goalkeeper calmly picked himself up and saved Brockies shot, leaving the New Zealand striker without a goal in 41 international appearances. . -- Julio Jones may be on the verge of returning from his latest hamstring injury.

BARCELONA, Spain -- A youthful Barcelona team without Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta had little trouble beating BATE Borisov 4-0 on Tuesday to extend its unbeaten run at home in the Champions League to 13 matches. Despite coach Pep Guardiola resting most of his first-team players for next weeks "clasico" at Real Madrid, Barcelona stayed true to its style and dominated throughout. Sergi Roberto, a 19-year-old midfielder, scored the hosts opener in the 35th minute before 20-year-old defender Martin Montoya doubled the lead in the 60th. Pedro Rodriguez scored in the 63rd and capped the win with a penalty in the 89th. Barcelona had already advanced to the last 16 as Group H winner, while the Belarusian champions finished fourth. AC Milan went through as runner-up and Viktoria Plzen finished third to earn a spot in the Europa league. Those teams drew 2-2 on Tuesday. "This shows that our youth teams are very strong," said Pedro, a former product of Barcelonas La Masia academy. "These young players want to get a spot in the first team and they run a lot to try and earn it." It was Barcelonas 10th straight home game in all competitions without conceding a goal. During that stretch, Guardiolas team has outscored its opponents 40-0 at Camp Nou stadium. Coach Pep Guardiola chose Pedro to lead a starting team mainly composed of Barcelonas next crop of young talent. "The club is very fortunate to have this generation of players to draw from," Guardiola said. Striker Rafinha Alcantara, playing alongside older brother Thiago, had Barcelonas first chance two minutes in when he fired at goalkeeper Aleksandr Gutor. Forward Isaac Cueenca, who capped a strong performance with a goal in Barcelonas 5-0 rout of Levante at the weekend, provided the biggest threat for the hosts early on with a pair of strikes that went wide.dddddddddddd. BATE came close to taking advantage of a Barcelona turnover in the 26th, but defender Marc Bartra scrambled to clear a dangerous cross from Artyom Kontsevoi. Barcelona took control when Roberto, playing in place of Cesc Fabregas as an attacking midfielder, coolly slotted a loose ball into the right corner of the net after a BATE defender had deflected Thiagos incisive pass into his path. "This is a great day for the youth team and the club," Roberto said. "Almost all of us play together on the B team and this showed as we combined well." The Catalan side pressed further up the pitch to quickly decide the match after halftime. Montoya, who earned his first call-up to Spains senior team earlier this season, made it 2-0 when he raced in from the right flank to blast in Cuencas pass. Three minutes later, the 20-yeard-old Cuenca was again at the heart of Barcelonas attack by sending in a low cross for Pedro to deftly redirect the ball into the net with the inside of his right heel. The last goal was also manufactured by Barcelonas latest young star, Cuenca drawing a foul from Aleksandr Volodko in the area. Pedro stroked the ball in from the spot kick. "It is good to score to help me regain my confidence after being out a few weeks with injury," said Pedro, who lost his starting spot this season with the arrival of Fabregas and Chile forward Alexis Sanchez. "Now we have to think about the clasico and prepare for it well." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
