Mexico played their best game in the U17 World Cup and quite possibly their best U17 World Cup game in years, stunning favorites Japan and taking the victory. In game conditions that started during a rainstorm that later cleared, Mexico was the better team and was able to stifle the very mobile Japanese team. Later on they were able to score in key moments in the second half and then sit back and come away with the win. They will now have a Quarterfinal match up with South Korea in what should be a tough match, but is more favorable than other brackets.
