Italy (3) v (4) Mexico
There was a very big crowd for this important match between Italy and Mexico. A lot of south americans supported the mexicans but obviously there were also a lot of italian fans.
In the first half Mexico dominated the match and they scored quite easily with Gilberto Maximo Fonseca.
Italy struggled a lot to recover but the Mexicans defended very well.
The first minute of the second half was Italy's time. Two goals and now the Italians had the best possibilities to pass through.
But Mexico played with no fear and they scored two other goals in one of the most beautiful match of the competition.
Before the end Italy equalized again with Youssou Diome but Mexico scored again with Juan Carlos Mata Juarez.
The last chance for Italy was a penalty but they missed it for the cheerful of the south american fans.
Mexico have a very young team and they can do very well in the other matches of the Homeless World Cup.
Italy played quite nervously again and now they have to rethink about their tournament.
Man of the match: (Juan Carlos Mata Juarez, Mexico)
