In the second-half, Germany threw everything they had, to score an equalizer, but, Mexico stood solid and denied them any open opportunities to exploit.
The Mexican defence was dominant in the air and won crucial aerial duels. It helped them thwart the crosses German midfielders and wing-backs had attempted.
They kept a defensive line and managed to keep it intact until the final whistle. They did not let the German midfielders like Mesut Ozil launch those impeccable through balls, that would leave any defence flat-footed, and take them out of the equation.
Ochoa was also impressive for Mexico as he pulled of numerous, incredible saves. Germany needs to come out of their shadows in the next game, if not, they will find it difficult to advance to the knock-out stages.
