Santiago Gimenez with a goal saved Mexico in a great duel with South Korea: 2-2
Mexico and South Korea put on a great game in the 2-2 draw in Nashville where Santiago Gimenez woke up with a tremendous goal
Santiago Gimenez left the bad moments behind in the Mexican national team and with a goal in the last minute saved the national team led by Javier “Vasco” Aguirre to add his second embarrassment in the FIFA date of September after the miraculous 0-0 with Japan last Saturday.
In the 90 + 4 minutes Gimenez took the ball on the edge of the area and after making space for himself with a half turn, he adjusted the ball to his left profile to send a cross shot with effect that beat the South Korean goalkeeper who could do little to avoid 2-2.
A result that could disguise the performance of Mexico in a duel of power to power and where the Tricolor had a good first half where Raul Jimenez put the Aztec team ahead with a goal in a header that would not envy those of Jared Borgetti or Oribe Peralta with the national team.
But in the second half all the good works of the Mexicans fell apart, just when the Korean figure entered the field, the LAFC forward Heung Min Son, who together with Ho put the led by Javier Aguirre in trouble.
It was here where the speed of the Asians was a real poison for the Aztec team that made movements in its formation with the entry of Carlos Rodriguez, Alexis Vega, Jorge Sanchez and Santiago Gimenez on the field of play until the hour, in minute 90 + 4 Santiago Gimenez put in the nets a real goal that will surely serve to gain confidence in AC Milan and in the national team, after this Tuesday he started on the bench behind Raul Jimenez and German Berterame.
The best moments of Mexico
Mexico suffered the first minutes with South Korea due to the speed of the Asians' lines, but it was where the Mexican team began to show better skills, especially on the left sector with the incorporations of Mateo Chavez joining Chucky Lozano and launching German Berterame and Raul Jimenez more forward through the center of the area.
It was precisely when the Aztec team began to create danger against the Asians' goal that Raul Jimenez, in the 32nd minute, delivered a good header that left goalkeeper Seung-gyu Kim with no options and put the Koreans in a difficult position.
