Roberto AlvaradoThe man who assisted Raúl Jiménez's goal in the 67th minute spoke to FIFA about the emotions he felt today.
💬 “It was really a beautiful feeling, beyond words, something I always dreamed of; playing such a big match at home, with these fans.
“I'm glad that Raul was able to score that goal. At half time, he asked me to send a cross for him. I didn't think twice, and I knew it could be dangerous in that area. Thank God I got the assist and Raul was able to score that goal.”
Alvarado also explained how Mexico played the match.
💬 “The game plan is always to go out and apply pressure. After that, we dropped the tempo a little bit, but maybe we had a little more patience and a little more possession of the ball.”
