LOS ANGELES, Jan 31 ? Teenager Andrea Cornelius slotted a late penalty for Denmark to leave Mexico frustrated with a 1-1 draw from their friendly in Glendale, Arizona yesterday.

Cornelius, who scored a hat-trick in Denmark?s 4-0 win over Canada on Saturday, calmly completed the spot kick after being fouled by Jorge Torres Nilo in the 83rd minute at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

The 19-year-old?s goal cancelled out Marco Fabian?s 68th minute penalty following a scoreless first half in Mexico?s final warm-up before their next World Cup qualifier against Jamaica on February 6.

Javier Acquino drew the foul that set up Fabian?s spot-kick, but there was little else to cheer for the partisan crowd, with keeper Jesper Hansen making five saves to help Denmark secure the tie. ? Reuters
