Overview
- The Torreón crowd repeatedly booed starting goalkeeper Raúl ‘Tala’ Rangel, chanting for hometown Santos Laguna favorite Carlos Acevedo.
- Rangel stayed steady and produced a key 66th-minute save to turn away a powerful effort and preserve the clean sheet.
- After Hirving Lozano exited with a knock, 17-year-old Gilberto Mora lifted Mexico’s attack and missed narrowly with an outside-of-the-foot shot that skimmed the post.
- Uruguay protested a late non-penalty when Maximiliano Araujo fell under contact from César Montes, but the referee let play continue.
- Post-match, Raúl Jiménez criticized the booing and referenced Mexico’s frequent games in the U.S., while Javier Aguirre said fans are free to express themselves.
