The Mexican Women’s Sub-20 team went all the way with the famous phrase that “everything you do will transcend tomorrow.” The team led by Brazilian Doriva Bueno, popularly known as “Dorival”, is a step from failure.

The reason, very simple, after losing this Tuesday 2-1 to the host Poland in the second day of the group phase. With this result, the Aztec combined seriously compromises its classification and now will depend exclusively on a victory in the dramatic final duel against Argentina.

The young Mexican girls paid very much for not being able to maintain the initial advantage. Just in the fifth minute, the fortune seemed to smile at the Tri when an unfortunate goal from the Polish squad put the 0-1 in the scoring. However, the joy lasted a sigh; the locals reacted immediately and matched the actions at minute 9 through a deadly finish in the area.

From there, Poland captured the bands, forcing the Mexican women to rip the physical in search of recovering control, but the national squadron commanded by “Dorival” never found the coldness or collective clarity to get their task.

The final blow and a hostile landscape

In the second half, the drama intensified. When Mexico tried to settle on the pitch, a defensive neglect caused a penalty for Poland in the 76th minute. The execution from the eleven steps was impeccable, signing the definitive 2-1 that unleashed the euphoria in the local tribunes and left the tricolor players frozen.

The defeat fell deep, especially due to the immediate repercussions in the Group A table. Hours earlier, Argentina crushed Benin 8-0, a result that leaves Albiceleste with three points and a very favorable goal difference (+5). Mexico, which dragged a bitter 2-2 draw against Benin in its debut, stagnated with just 1 unit.

What does Mexico need to qualify?

In the last day of the group phase, which will be played on Friday, September 11, Mexico will face-to-face against Argentina.

For those directed by Doriva Good it only serves them to win. Any other result (empt or defeat) will consume the definitive failure and sign the home ticket prematurely. The coin is in the air and the Sub-20 Selection will have to demonstrate the hierarchy it lacked this Tuesday if it wants to keep the world dream alive.
