Jordan Carrillo’s inspiration for Mexico was enough and medal hopes at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games still stand. The Aztec number 10 showed a perfect dribble to open the door to the next round. The one from Sporting de Gijón confirmed himself as the most talented of a team that continued to fail in front of the goal.
The 1-0 at the Elías Figueroa stadium had everything, suffering, grit and many blows, in addition to refereeing full of errors, it was in the meantime mud that Carrillo’s brilliance was enough to guide everyone’s team to second place in the group TO.
Mexico started strong, a hand opened the possibility. Ambriz, with personality, asked for the ball. The León midfielder’s shot was going into the net, when Ramiro Méndez dived to the right to block it.
The Tricolor had to battle with the Uruguayan force from the first minutes. Piñeiro, De los Santos and Monzeglio showed talent from midfield to forward. Lira, Ambriz and Monroy showed strong legs to hit the Uruguayan aspirations.
The rainy afternoon in Valparaíso had a ray of sunshine that came from Carrillo’s dribble. The midfielder, born in football in the basic forces of Santos Laguna, escaped from midfield with the ball stuck in his right leg. His audacity was such that he escaped from up to five Uruguayan players.
Ayón followed his teammate’s movement and at the right moment, when Jordan reached the baseline, he anticipated his defender to touch the ball. Saldívia wanted to avoid the target and although the ball hit him, he couldn’t get it out. Goal from Mexico!
The goal that gave Mexico the victory over Uruguay
After Carrillo’s play, Mexico controlled the ball and began receiving kicks in the midfield. Foggi, a Uruguayan player from Necaxa, was cautioned for hitting Ambriz. Uruguay did not press the accelerator, the break came for the Aztec tranquility.
The return was good for Mexico. Carrillo and González had to extend the score. The problem that the entire tournament has had reappeared in the Tricolor. The lack of forcefulness closed the match completely.
Diego Reyes, assistant to Marcelo Bielsa and coach of the Uruguayan team, moved his bench to give intensity to his team. Rodríguez and Lavega put Fernando Tapia to work who looked confident under the Mexican sticks. The closest was a shot from Piñeiro that shook the national crossbar.
Cadena demanded commitment from his people. Ayón, Carrillo and Fulgencio were replaced. Mexico got involved with Juan Jesús Brígido, who received a very tough tackle from Figueredo, but the whistler did not score anything.
