Whos next
Well. Portugal and Mexico are through to the next round.
The final score of the game being 2-1, and with Iran drawing with Angola, Mexico make it through by the skin of their teeth.
Maniche opened the scoring in the 6th minute, with a great shot on goal. Simao Sabrosa played a huge role in setting up the goal, and Maniche finished off with a superb touch.
In the 24th minute however, Rafael Marquez put his hand to the ball inside the penalty area off a Portugal corner. Even though he quickly pulled his hand away, the referee spotted the infringement, and penalty to Portugal.
Simao Sabrosa stepped up, and after feinting, drove the ball hard into the net, despite Oswaldo Sanchez doing his best to put off Sabrosa by moving side to side.
In the 28th minute however, Omar Bravo was denied a goal by Ricardo, but from the resulting corner, Jose Fonseca put the ball in the net. There was no man on the far post for Portugal, and that cost them, as Fonseca's well placed header left Ricardo standing.
Referee Lubos Michels caught a handball on the other end of the pitch in the 57th minute, when Miguel handled the ball. Omar Bravo stepped up to the resulting free kick, but missed completely. Putting plenty of power behind the ball, he forgot that he needed to put the ball in the net, blasting the ball over and into the crowd.
A few minutes later, in the 61st minute Luis Perez went down in the penalty area, but with Miguel in front of him, he was deemed to have dived. His second dive gave him a yellow card, and as he had a yellow card in the first half, he was duly sent off. He can also expect a $10,000 fine from FIFA for diving.
The referee was spot on however, as replays showed that Miguel was no where near him when he fell.
The score held to full time, and Mexico were waiting anxiously for the Iran-Angola match.
With that match tied at 1-1, Mexico go through to the next round in second place, having to play the loosers of the Argentina-Netherlands match which happens in an hour.
Ole! Figo with his souvenir
