FIFA U-20 World Cup Argentina vs Mexico


Tonight the Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa hosted its last FIFA U-20 game between Argentina and Mexico. I arrived at the stadium an hour early to avoid traffic and lineup at the door. Outside the stadium, fan base for both countries were belting out their slogan, contending to be louder than the other side. The game started right on the dot. In the first half, both sides had good ball possession. Argentina had three shots and were beautifully saved by the Mexican goalie. On the other side, Mexico had a few close shots, but none of them made to a goal. One of the Mexican shots was a amazingly cut across the net, taking the goalie by complete surprise. Unluckily it hit the post and flew out. Until the 44th minute, the score was still nil:nil. At the 45th minute, Argentina finally saw an opportunity and cut cross the Mexican defense. Goal! The scoreboard finally flipped for Argentina.
In the second half, Mexico tried hard to break through Argentine defense. But with Argentine No.4, 5, 7, 8 forming a solid defense, it was just impossible. In vain, Mexico could not tie the game, bringing victory to Argentina 1:0.
