00:00Let's pull the stats, my friends.
00:01Here it is.
00:02It was all Mexico all day, but the possession of Ecuador has longer possession, 57%.
00:08The expected goals, one for Mexico, 0.75%.
00:12Total shots, 15-7 on a great display.
00:16Let me make this.
00:17Three shots on target for Mexico, one for Ecuador.
00:20And the touches on the opposite box, it was measured at the game.
00:26It wasn't as one-sided as the score led you to win.
00:31Because the reality is that Ecuador is a very good team that knew how to retain the ball,
00:35but it was a little bit pathetic.
00:37They were not the team that we were expecting to see.
00:41The facts of the game, this is my favorite graph.
00:44The momentum of the play.
00:47You can see clearly that Mexico was very intelligent at the beginning,
00:50overwhelming the Ecuadorian team.
00:52By little, Ecuador had breathing moments, as you can see.
00:55And then the goals of Mexico.
00:58Moments critical for the team.
01:00Right after the hydration break, there was a momentum and a break.
01:03Which on the second half, although Mexico really slowed down,
01:07and was very much expecting to see what Ecuador was trying to do.
01:11And when they realized that Ecuador wasn't fine, it wasn't...
01:15And they didn't have a lot of opportunities to penetrate the back line.
01:18And again, the Mexican back line was...
01:22They kind of took a step back, lowered their tempo, as you can see on the graph.
01:27And at the end of the game, Ecuador got a little bit desperate.
01:33A red card for Incapié, Pierre Incapié, one of the best defenders in the world.
01:39In un dime y direte con Santiago Jiménez, as a substitution later in the game.
01:45And he was expelled, sending Ecuador back home.
01:49And a coach that, at the end of the game, decided to resign.
01:53That's right, the Ecuadorian coach took quit after not accomplishing the results that were expected.
02:00Because Ecuador, as we said, came in second place of the South American qualifier.
02:06Defeating the countries in the qualifier, Brazil, Argentina y Colombia.
02:11And it was impressive, because they started with minus three points in the qualifier.
02:16They had a point deduction.
02:17And even then, the expectations were big.
02:20And, unfortunately, they go home.
02:23Last time, you are going home.
02:26And Mexico is Inglaterra.
02:30That's right.
