Alvaro Fidalgo added a goal in second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico\u2019s previous best group-stage performance was two wins and one draw, done in 1986 and 2002 and both featuring Javier Aguirre, the first as a midfielder and the second as El Tri\u2019s coach. Aguirre is back as coach this year, his third stint leading the team.<\/p>\n<p>Already the winner of Group A, Mexico will play again at Estadio Azteca on Tuesday in a round-of-32 match against an opponent to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico is undefeated at nine World Cup matches at the massive stadium, which was packed with 80,824 fans on Wednesday. El Tri has only two losses at Azteca, most recently in World Cup qualifying against Honduras on Sept. 6, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The match included nods to Mexico\u2019s past and future. Gilberto Mora, at age 17, became the youngest Mexico player to start in a World Cup. And 40-year-old goalkeeper Guillermo \u201cMemo\u201d Ochoa entered in the 77th minute, joining Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi and Portugal\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo as the only players to appear in six World Cups.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico\u2019s triumph was marred, however, by the return of a homophobic chant by fans that has previously led to fines and other sanctions against its soccer federation. The chant, a one-word slur that literally means male prostitute in Spanish, was heard near the end of the first half when Czech goalkeeper Matej Kovar took a goal kick.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4010\">Indiana\u2019s Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark surge to 1-2 in WNBA All-Star fan voting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Czech Republic was eliminated, finishing with one point in three games.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico is unbeaten in 11 games dating to a friendly loss against Panama last November. And Aguirre has made the most of his roster, using 25 of 26 players in the tournament. Ch\u00e1vez was one of five starters Wednesday who did not start last Thursday\u2019s 1-0 win over South Korea.<\/p>\n<h3>Ochoa makes history in his likely farewell<\/h3>\n<p>Ochoa, who wears No. 13, played the last 13 minutes, plus stoppage time, in what\u2019s likely to be his final appearance for Mexico. He turns 41 on July 13 and has said he plans to retire from international competition after the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>He was a substitute in the 2006 and 2010 tournaments and started for Mexico in 2014, 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Ra\u00fal Rangel is the starter this year, stepping in for the injured Luis \u00c1ngel Malag\u00f3n, who helped Mexico win the CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup last year. Malag\u00f3n\u2019s injury opened the door for Ochoa\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<p>Ochoa became the oldest Mexican to play in the World Cup. The previous record holder was Cuauht\u00e9moc Blanco, who was 37 when he played in South Africa in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4008\">Sparks hit hard as Kelsey Plum sidelined indefinitely, out at least 10 games<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP World Cup: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/fifa-world-cup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEXICO CITY (AP) \u2014 Mateo Ch\u00e1vez and Juli\u00e1n Qui\u00f1ones scored in a six-minute span early&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4014,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
