Mexico had their ticket to the Toulon final in their hands, but a terrible mistake by Ismael Govea gave Japan the equalizer and the eventual pass on penalties. It was a return of the ghosts that haunt Mexico, as once again Mexico snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and then fell on a penalty shootout. Jose Hernandez, who supposedly was a good penalty kick stopper, didn’t came close to getting to any of Japan’s penalty kicks. Mexico will now face the loser of the Brazil vs Ireland semifinal for the third place game.
