Mexico gets important point after scoreless draw with Germany

Mexico got a key point after they salvaged a draw against Germany in their second game at the U-20 World Cup. The draw gives Mexico four points, which basically books their ticket to the next round due to the four best third-placed teams going through. They will also now face a Venezuelan team guaranteed a next round spot and who might rest players because of the short time given between games in this tournament. Mexico made two substitutions to their starting lineup from the Vanuatu, with Juan Aguayo starting over Francisco Venegas and Eduardo Aguirre over Paolo Yrizar. Still, although Mexico improved with their performance (especially in the 2nd half), they still aren't close to their expected level and the draw was the most fair result.
