Mexico beat Ecuador two goals. It was a huge moment. Four decades of World Cup disappointment finally over.
They played at the Azteca stadium. A thunderstorm messed up the start. But when it kicked off, things got intense fast. Javier Aguirre ’s team just pushed hard. Relentless attack. Flair.
Mexico almost broke through early. Gilberto Mora and Raúl Jiménez were causing trouble. They kept threatening. Then Julián Quiñones just slotted it home. Twenty-two minutes. A composed finish on a counterattack.
Nine minutes later, the lead doubled. Jiménez won possession up high then combined perfectly with Quiñones . That was sharp.
Ecuador fought back after the break. They looked capable of something. But no real comeback. Goalkeeper Raúl Rangel made a huge save for Mexico. Clean sheet kept. Hernán Galíndez stopped César Montes from getting another goal. Frustrating evening for Ecuador . Then Piero Hincapié got sent off in stoppage time. Red card.
Four wins. Four clean sheets. Mexico finally broke that long curse. Now they wait. Either England or DR Congo next round. Just waiting now.
