Mexico and Portugal were the favorites to advance out of Group A at the Confederations Cup and they both delivered. Neither team could clinch a spot in the semifinals after two matchdays, leaving them in need of results on Saturday, but they both got the job done.
For Mexico, it was a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Russia. Meanwhile, Portugal cruied to a 4-0 win. That puts Portugal on top of Group A and Mexico in second, both through and 180 minutes from winning the tournament.
What did we takeaway from their matches on Saturday?
