Mexico ends 40-year wait for a World Cup knockout victory
Mexico secured a 2-0 victory over Ecuador during their FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match held in Mexico City, marking the team's first win in a knockout round since 1986. The goals were netted in the first half by Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez, and Ecuador saw Piero Hincapié receive a red card during stoppage time. The last time Mexico triumphed in a knockout game was in 1986, when they beat Bulgaria prior to their quarterfinal exit against West Germany.
