Match overview
Mexico took an early lead through Flores and looked set for victory, but Paraguay equalised late on with a goal from Romero. The match was dramatic, with Mexico missing a late penalty and both teams receiving multiple bookings. The draw left both teams well placed to advance from the group.
Trivia
The attendance of over 114,000 remains one of the highest in World Cup history. Hugo Sánchez’s missed penalty in the dying moments was a key talking point.
