Mexico began Wednesday night on one point with a goal differential of minus-2, while Poland began on four points and plus-2. Halftimes of both concurrent games, counting Poland-Argentina, stood goalless. Then Mexico — which had not scored all tournament as it drew, 0-0, with Poland and lost, 2-0, to Argentina — began producing wonder.
It scored off a corner in the 47th minute when Henry Martín maneuvered his way between players and struck the ball with his left foot, knocking it in and loosing bedlam especially just behind the goal. Then it scored in the 52nd minute with a free kick of quite some beauty that curled its way into the top right corner.
Now Mexico had a 2-0 lead with the noise somewhere beyond stirring, and when Poland soon fell into a 2-0 deficit down to the south at Stadium 974, Mexico and Poland stood even in points and goal difference , while Mexico had gotten seven yellow cards to Poland’s five.Mexico searched skillfully and frantically for that third goal.
Mexico pushed and pushed, skying one over the goal early in stoppage time, and then their chances collapsed with a rare Saudi counterattack. It wound up in the Mexico box with Hattan Bahebri feeding to Salem al-Dawsari, who slid it easily past Guillermo Ochoa. The whistle blew two minutes later and Mexico, exhausted, had left the party early, especially for itself.France has already secured its spot in the knockout round, and three more nations will join Les Bleus on Wednesday.
