If it went down picking a name out of a hat, FIFA should have gave Mexico a place in the last 16 for Luis Chavez's free-kick.
Luis Chavez scored a wonderful free-kick as Mexico’s 2-1 win against Saudi Arabia was not enough to see them finish second in their World Cup group.
But Mexican hopes were destroyed in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Saudi skipper Salem Al Dawsari worked a clever one-two with Hatan Bahbri and skilfully converted. Mexico boss Gerardo Martino left Wolves striker Raul Jimenez on the bench for the third time at this tournament as captain Andres Guardado missed out with a muscle injury.
Napoli’s Hirving Lozano was at the heart of everything Mexico produced as they got on the front foot from the start. Chavez volleyed straight at Al Owais, Jesus Gallardo met a corner without success, and Orbelin Pineda saw deflections take the sting out of two attempts.
