Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez holds his line perfectly, moving only when the ball was lofted over by Rafa Marquez. Great bit of anticipation – and the Man Utd bound striker showed great composure faced one on one with Hugo Lloris, side footing him, and in a perfect finish sending Mexico one up.

France on the other hand lost composure with Jean Abidal bringing down Pablo Barrera in the 77th minute. The resulting spot kick was converted by Cuauhtemoc Blanco, at 37 years, the oldest outfield player after a Brett Lee like run up.
Raymond Domenech looked like a man facing the guillotine.
