Match overview
Mexico dominated possession but found Iraq’s defence difficult to break down. Quirarte’s header from a set piece gave the hosts a deserved lead. Iraq created some late pressure but could not find an equaliser, and Mexico secured their second win of the tournament.
Trivia
This was Iraq’s second ever World Cup match. Mexico’s win ensured qualification to the knockout stage as group winners.
