El Tri&#8217;s first-half resilience was of particular note, as you have to go back to Carlos Tevez scoring for Argentina in the 2010 Round of 16 clash with Mexico for the last time they conceded a first-half goal at a World Cup finals. By nullifying the Czech Republic in the opening 45 minutes tonight, Javier Aguirre&#8217;s side extended their unbelievable streak to 14 consecutive World Cup matches without being breached before the interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, by securing three straight clean sheets at these finals, <em>El Tricolor<\/em> have displayed a flawless group-stage defensive shutdown to match that of Uruguay in 2018. Both teams navigated their opening three group stage matches without conceding, and it&#8217;s a stat that displays just how durable this Mexican side are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-luxury-rotation\">Luxury rotation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having already locked down top spot in Group A before a ball was kicked tonight, Javier Aguirre opted to flex his squad&#8217;s depth in a bid to combat tournament fatigue. The gamble ultimately paid off, with his side scoring three goals to win the game, while keeping a clean sheet to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within those changes was a historic start for 17-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora. He became the youngest Mexican to play for his country at the World Cup. This zero-pressure environment was the perfect stage for the youngster to strut his stuff, helping blood him in for the knockout stages should La Tri require something special from their wildcard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Mateo Chavez, who was making just his 11th appearance for the national team, brought the house down with his first international goal and Mexico&#8217;s opener. Tonight&#8217;s appearance offered him his first minutes of the tournament so far, and highlighted just how important fringe and bit-part players are to a team&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1463088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-1229x1536.png 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-214x267.png 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-160x200.png 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-48x60.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank-59x74.png 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/25042516\/player_-pitch-5-stats-no-rank.png 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also room for sentimentality in Mexico City. Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa &#8211; Mexico&#8217;s third-most capped player &#8211; was given an emotional moment. His cameo made him the oldest Mexican to play at a World Cup, as well as the seventh-oldest player in World Cup history.

Substitute midfielder Alvaro Fidalgo stepped off the bench to sweep home his first World Cup goal. The strike sealed a comprehensive victory for the co-hosts.
