Eric Lira gave Mexico a 1-0 lead in the 33rd minute. A brilliant shot into the corner of the goal by Anthony, the hero of the team who made many saves during the match.
Almost at the end of the first half, Jorge Ruvalgaba came on to stamp out a Mexican counterattack that would ultimately be decisive.
