Antonio to the rescue

Prior to kickoff, the match ball was delivered to the center circle via remote control car. The car's return journey back to the sidelines was less successful...

Antonio creates chance for Jamaica

37' Mexico 0-0 Jamaica

Losing Alvarez is a huge blow

34' Mexico 0-0 Jamaica

This could be Mexico’s tournament over too. Their back five were already shaky enough, and Luis Romo doesn’t offer the same defensive presence or calm in the buildup. They have a pretty gentle group but going far without Alvarez will be tough sledding.
