2018 FIFA World Cup – Group F: Champions Germany upset by Mexico!

The 2018 FIFA World Cup continued on Sunday, June 17 with defending champions Germany being upset by Mexico 0-1 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

Mexico put a lot of pressure on Germany from the start with the world champions unable to build their own attacks with the Mexicans on them pressing and forcing them into errors just like in the 35th minute when Sami Khedira lost the ball and in the end Hirving Lozano scored for Mexico, the lone goal of the match.
