After a bad loss in their opener against Germany, Mexico needed at least a point, which they got. The situation of the match however where Venezuela got a red card at the 40th minute of the match, will be a source of disappointment for fans. Mexico will now face a must win match against New Zealand, although a victory will really have them in prime position to qualify to the Round of 16, as at least one of the best third placed teams in a group.
