Co-hosts Mexico seemed unstoppable in an explosive first-half to beat Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday and reach the last 16 of the World Cup.
The Mexicans will play again in Mexico City against the winner of Wednesday’s clash between England and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Taking advantage of the very loud fan support, Mexico seemed unstoppable in the first 45 minutes of the match, which started one hour later than originally planned due to adverse weather conditions.
The home side took a deserved lead in the 22nd minute through Julian Quinones, who scored the first goal of this year’s tournament.
Quinones latched onto a ball and drove into the box, cutting onto the right before unleashing a mighty strike inside the near post.
Raul Jimenez doubled their lead in the 31st minute after a defensive mess from the opponents.
