Mexico's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lautaro Mancebo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 68 minutes, Vasco Silveira mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ɍυƒυs™ and the Mexico players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Ivan Vilhena helped the player get up and apologised. Ivan Vilhena kicked well hit freekick during the 97th minute of the match.
