Looked a bit soft how they allowed Saudi in, but I've only seen it onceBrumHammer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 8:58 pm Lovely Saudi goal that, even if Mexico had given up defending.

Better finishing from them, or Lautaro Martínez in the other game, and they’d have gone through! So so close and a shame they’re out.

Might've known that conceding one there would make zero difference to what they needed, to score one, so to save time/energy they just didn't really bother?vietnammer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:03 pm Looked a bit soft how they allowed Saudi in, but I've only seen it once

Glad someone realised this! Neither the BBC commentators or the website match reporter seemed capable of working that out:
But Salem Al Dawsari's injury-time consolation strike ended any hope of a remarkable Mexico revival

I didn't bother to think, just took the commentator's word!

When I turned this on was expecting to Mexico to be pinning Saudi back etc but instead the game was still 50/50 and they just scored. It wasn't a massive counter-attack or anything like that just very shoddy defending
