Mexico knew in order to stay on that same plane as the Brazilians in Group A they needed to kick it in overdrive and beat Croatia to advance to the Knockout Rounds. Well it went deep into the 2nd half scoreless and then in the 72nd minute it was Rafeal Marquez who scored for Mexico to make it 1-0 Mexico. Not even three minutes later in the 75th minute Andres Guardado scored the clincher to make it 2-0 Mexico as the Croatians were reeling at this point.

With Croatia needing a miracle as we entered the 82nd minute it was Javier Hernandez (Club Manchester United) who gets goal #3 for Mexico to cap the scoring for Mexico. The Croatians in the 87th minute gets their lone goal off the feet of Ivan Perisic. Mexico now advances to the Knockout Stages as does Brazil as they both are tied at 7 points apiece with two wins and the Mexico/Brazil Game Draw...as both pick up a point.
