Netherlands vs. Mexico

Carlos Vela (11) & Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez (14)
Friendly or Revenge?
After their last encounter in the 2014's World Cup in Brazil this past June, today Mexico decided to give it all to get revenge on what was stolen from them. As you may or may not recall, the official from the game had called a penalty on a play that was clearly not one. Right before the so call penalty, the game had been tied (1-1), the game would have gone to extra time. However, due to the penalty Netherlands won the game not allowing Mexico to fight for their chance to advance.

This game was not only a great importance because of the so-call "revenge" from Mexico to Netherlands but also to welcome back Carlos Vela back to the team. Within the first 8 minutes of the game, Carlos Vela, the "prodigy son" scored and gave Mexico the lead. It was simply amazing to see him play again, I don't recall the last time that I saw him play; it was more amazing to see him play along with El Chicharito. The first half ended, Mexico was in the lead with the goal from Vela. As soon as the second half started, a goal from Netherlands was made. However, the scored turned around when two goals were made from Vela in minutes 61 and Chicharito in minute 69. The score was 3-1 at that point. It was to soon to celebrate Mexico's victory. Netherlands made their second goal. Here is a clip of goals:


The game ended with the score of 3-2 in favor of Mexico. Not only the goals from Carlos Vela and Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez helped but also Mexico's defense helped Mexico maintain Netherlands from scoring.

Carlos Vela made his return to the team a remarkable one by scoring two goals. Will we see more him in the games? I hope so.


#Mexico #You Got Served
