Fans wave flags and shout slogans after Mexico defeated Germany in their Group F match during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Moscow, Russia, 17 June 2018.
Mexico won its World Cup opener, hanging on to defeat defending champion Germany 1-0 in Moscow. Hirving Lozano scored in the 35th minute for the game's only goal. Germany dominated possession (61 percent) throughout the match, but Mexico consistently threatened on the counter-attack. Mexico failed to convert a number of chances, unable to play the final ball and increase their lead. Mexico sat back and absorbed pressure in the second half, defending well as a unit and preventing Germany from getting many clear chances on goal. Germany completed Germany managed 25 shots, with nine on target. Defender Rafael Marquez came on a substitute for Mexico, becoming just the third player to appear in five World Cups. Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was the hero again, four years after a tremendous performance in Brazil.
El técnico Jaime Lozano ya está en Houston, Texas, para tomar las riendas de la Selección Mexicana de Futbol de cara a la Copa Oro en la que debutará el domingo frente a su similar de Honduras.
Tras la destitución del argentino Diego Cocca, el Alto Comisionado de la Federación Mexicana de Futbol, Juan Carlos Rodríguez, informó que el “Jimmy” se haría cargo de manera interina de equipo mexicano.
El estratega medallista de bronce en los Juegos Olímpicos Tokio 2020 viajó el martes a Estados Unidos a donde llegó por la noche al hotel de concentración.
Lozano trabajará este miércoles por primera vez con este grupo, al cual se ha integrado Roberto Alvarado, quien ocupa el lugar de Alexis Vega, quien causó baja por lesión en la rodilla.
