Well. They’ve lost 2 out of 89 competitive games at the Azteca in 60 years

They haven’t lost a competitive game there since 2013.

They’ve never lost a World Cup game there, having played 10 and kept 8 clean sheets.

So their record there is quite astounding BUT their average level of opposition has been fairly weak too.
