Ochoa’s efforts inspired Mexico’s players and their ardent fan base, but they were unable to turn it into a win. As a result sharing of the spoils put both countries behind Group C leaders Saudi Arabia after one match, who had previously upset Argentina. The stage was created for Mexico to press forward and claim victory, but it did not occur as both teams settled for a draw on the first night.
After their unexpected victory over Argentina, Saudi Arabia remains in first place in Group C thanks to the draw. Herve Renard’s team may advance to the round of 16 if they defeat Poland on Saturday. In addition, Mexico’s World Cup rivalry match against Argentina in four days will be a game that Lionel Messi and company absolutely must win.
