Despite fielding six defenders and only one midfielder, Mexico stunned the world by playing attacking football from the very beginning.

Only six minutes into the game, Mexico's only midfielder Pavel Pardo served the out-swinger and it was flicked on by Antonio Jose Castro at the near post right to an unmarked Rafael Marquez at the far post.

Marquez slid in to shoot it into the roof of the net.

But Argentina earned their equalizer in the 10th minute.
