Striker Lozano emphatically finished a sweeping team move in the 35th minute of the game at Luzhniki Stadium, and the Mexican team held on despite strong German pressure to claim a win of seismic proportions.
The Germans had been strong favorites going into the encounter, having beaten Mexico 4-1 in Sochi in last year’s Confederations Cup semi-finals.
However, Juan Carlos Osorio’s team were worthy winners this time around as they produced a performance of creativity and grit to send the thousands of Mexico fans packed into Luzhniki into raptures.
Carnival
The Mexican fans have helped turn the Russian capital into a carnival atmosphere in recent days, taking to the streets en mass and at games involving other teams.

Prior to Sunday’s game they had continued that trend with some lively chanting as they assembled on the way to the match.
