In a roller coaster of a performance, Mexico got their first three points off the tournament defeating Argentina 2-1. With only ten men and a disastrous end to the first half, Mexico came back to play one of the best 45 minutes in recent memory and got the win thanks to a great performance from Jesus Godinez, who found redemption after missing a last minute penalty kick in the game against Panama. With the win, Mexico does a 180 and goes from possibly being eliminated to be on top of the group, to needing only a tie in the final game against Ecuador to get to the knockout stages of the Pan American games.
