Mexico Vs. Ecuador


Mexico defeats Ecuador 2-1 and for the first time passes to the next round without a single defeat and 1st of it's group.

GROUP B - POINTS
Mexico - 7
Argentina - 6
Uruguay - 4
Ecuador - 0

The game overall was okay. It was almost one-sided and seemed easy. By the first half Mexico had already scored 2 goals and the game was going down in pace. Goal 1 was a giveaway because the ref counted a penalty against Ecuador when it truly wasn't one (not like I'm complaining... :d gave Mexico the advantage.) The 2nd goal cam on minute 42, near the end of the first half, Mexican player Bofo completely gets rid of the men tracking him, nobody guarded him, gets the pass and strikes with a right leg slamming that ball into the net. Ecuador's goal came on minute 26, it was a nice two-man play, finished with a head shot, there was nothing for Mexican goalie to do, it was a very well executed goal. Mexico's play could have been a little more aggressive, while Ecuador's could be said that it was the best they played in the entire cup.

Now on to the next round... We either play Paraguay or Chile, I'm not too sure...
