3-1 victory for Mexico

Mexico tore Croatia apart

72’Marquez is the man to rise highest from Herrera’s centre. The ex-Barcelona central defender powers above Dejan Lovren and heads downwards past Pletikosa,

75′ It’s Guardado who’s settled this just seconds after Jelavic was brought on. He was bounding in on the edge of the box as Mexico broke at pace before sidefooting beyond Pletikosa with ease.
82,’Hernandez was playing on the shoulder of the last man and he’s nodded in a third at the back post!
Marquez nods Guardado’s ball in on at the front, Rakitic is ball watching and Hernandez pinches in.

87′, Perisic has got one back for Croatia, excellently breaking from the left and thundering beyond Ochoa into the bottom corner.
Probably the best goal of the night

Three second half goals were enough to sweep the Europeans aside – despite a late Perisic consolation – as they progress out of a group that looked altogether trickier than they made it seem.
