In the second huge upset of the tournament Mexico downs Brasil 2-0. Mexico, missing three of their European players that played in the Gold Cup, impressed against a Brasilian side that forgot how to Samba. For all the pregame talk about a divided Mexican locker room and disheartened players the Mexican team controlled the game from the start. Mexico's young gun Castillo continued to shine, scoring the first goal and missing two chances late in the game. With the last move of the game, Castillo broke away, ran half the length of the pitch, rounded Doni and then shot wide of the open goal.El Tri's tired legs started to show in about the 60th minute and Brasil began to press. Mexico played a very disciplined defensive game (it just feels weird writing that)and keeper Guillermo Ochoa came up with several huge saves to seal Mexico's victory. This win will save Hugo Sanchez his job for a while longer and probably will cost Oswaldo Sanchez (GK in Gold Cup) his.
