U17 World Cup: Mexico draws against Venezuela and progress to the round of 16 is complicated | Video

Mexico and Venezuela They drew twice in Bandung on Wednesday, in the second match of Group F of the 2023 Indonesia U-17 World Championship, adding a point that will benefit the “Vinotinto” team that reaches the final round, depending on the access to the round of 16 final, round that will be complicated for the tricolor.

After losing to Germany in the first round, Mexico took the field knowing they had to score points to maintain their chances of advancing to the next stage, but after six minutes their original plans failed: Alejandro Cichero overtook Venezuela.

Vinotinto’s side could not hold on to their lead as they played with one player less from the 39th minute due to the expulsion of Giovanny Sequera after a hard tackle on Brandon Lomeli.

In the second half, Mexico defeated its rival and turned the game around in just five minutes with goals, from the 62nd to the 67th minute by Stephano Carrillo and Luis Ortiz.
