However, the Mexicans very quickly took control of the game and began to create serious problems for the defense of the visiting team.

The reward for the better performance came in the 34th minute when Johan Vásquez scored the equalizer after an assist from Bryan Gutiérrez to put things back on track.

The home team continued to press, and Serbia found it increasingly difficult to find solutions to the rival’s attacks. The complete turnaround came deep into stoppage time in the first half.

After a dangerous situation in front of the Serbian goal, the unfortunate Srdjan Bukinac shook his own net and thus gave Mexico a 2:1 lead. It was a heavy blow for the guests just before the break.

Paunović tried to react already at the start of the second half and made several changes in order to change the course of the match. However, instead of the return of Serbia, the complete dominance of the domestic selection followed.

Experienced Raúl Jiménez in the 57th minute increased Mexico’s advantage to 3:1 and practically solved the question of the winner.

After that, Serbia was no longer able to seriously threaten the opponent’s goal, while the home team continued to use every opportunity that presented itself.

A new shock for the Eagles arrived in the 72nd minute. This time, the unfortunate Avdić scored an own goal and further deepened the agony of the Serbian national team.

The scoreboard then showed a big 4:1 for Mexico, and it was clear that Serbia expected a very painful defeat. Until the end of the match, the home team did not slow down and continued to attack.

The final result was set by Luis Chávez in the 90th minute of the game, when he scored for the final and convincing 5:1.
