Final comments
This game definitely lived up to its billing, and this tournmanent has still not seen a single game end without a goal! The Mexicans will back themselves to be well placed for the knockout rounds now, and the Germans will have to win their remaining group matches if they want any chance at making it out.
90'
Germany found out
The Mexican players executed their gameplan to a tee, allowing the Germans to have the ball while still preventing them from carrying out any sort of meaningful attacks that would have threatened their goal - when called upon, Ochoa was always in control of the situation. El Tri may have provided a blueprint to the rest of the world on how to defeat Germany, who themselves did not have the pace to keep up with the quick Mexican attacks.
90'
Huge win for Mexico
This is a game that will surely be remembered for a long time in the history books of El Tri – three massive points against the champions of the world, and the Mexicans find themselves in an excellent position to not only progress from the group stage, but perhaps even to win the group.

69'
German pressure
The Germans are increasing their pressure and taking advantage of their high possession stats – their passing and balls into the box are becoming more difficult for the Mexicans to handle.

Acrobatic!

61'
Dangerous substitution?
In what is an extremely attacking move, Reus comes onto the pitch and Khedira takes a seat. The Germans clearly want to take the game to the Mexicans, but will this lead them to be even more open on counterattacks?

53'
Deflected Shot!
Ozil receives the ball in the middle of the pitch before playing a ball out the Draxler, whose effort is blocked before going behind. The resulting corner is taken short but comes to nothing.

The Mexicans continue to let the Germans have the ball, as their defense remains solid. Kimmich eventually opts for a long shot from outside of the box, which is nowhere close to the goal
48'
First shot of the second half
A period of German possession ends as Plattenhardt has a shot that's easily caught by Ochoa.
46'
Bad luck in opening game for WC winners
The last two returning champions have seen their title defence begin with defeat, as both Italy (1-0 to Paraguay) and Spain (5-1 to the Netherlands) ended up on the losing side. The Germans will be hoping to end that streak, but they're up against it here in the second half.
46'
The second half starts!
The Germans are the first ones out to the pitch as the second half looms, as they're the ones who are going to have to push the isssue against this Mexican team that are having their way in this match.
45'
Mexican pace
El Tri seems content to let the Germans have the ball in possession, as they know that they'll be able to outpace them on the counter if they're able to win the ball back after a mistake.
45'
Half time analysis
The pace of the Mexicans is really what's causing the Germans problems, with the most dangerous Mexican attacks coming on the counter. While Chicharito hasn't been perfect when striking the ball, his hold-up play and distribution has been excellent, leading to the first goal and only goal of the match.
45'
What a first half!
Halftime arrives and the Mexicans have definitely showed the Germans that they are a force to be reckoned with. Mexico 1, Germany 0
45'
Shot for Vela!
Carlos Vela starts another Mexican counterattack before playing a quick one-two and receiving the ball back. He then takes a shot from just outside the box, which is off-target.
40'
Mexico on the counter!
The Mexican team is finding lots of freedom on the counterattack – another quick counter is started by Layun, before eventually fizzling out to nothing. The Mexicans' pace is really causing the Germans problems.
40'
Yellow Card
Hector Moreno (Mexico)
39'
Massive from Ochoa!
Actually it's Ochoa who makes an incredible save to push the ball onto the bar – what an effort from the Mexican keeper.
38'
Close!
Draxler, Kroos, and Ozil stand over the ball before Kroos eventually strikers a well-place effort that hits the crossbar.
37'
Right back at it
The Germans are wasting no time in attacking the Mexcians, and a ball into the box finds Draxler, who is unable to bring the ball down well enough to get a shot off. The Germans are fortunate enough to win a free kick at the top of the box however.
37'
Huge for the Mexicans
What a massive goal for the Mexicans, and what a blow to the Germans.
35'
GOAL FOR EL TRI
WHAT A COUNTER! The Mexicans win the ball back in their own half and Chicharito is the one to not only play a quick one-two to get the attack started, but also put in the decisive pass to Lozano, who beats a defender before putting the ball past Neuer at his near post.
35'
Goal

Lots of shots

18'
Chicha opportunity
Another Mexican counter-attack finds Chicharito on the left side of the box, but Mexico's all-time leading scorer waits a little too long and is unable to get his shot away before being closed down.
16'
End to end action
A quick counter-attack from the Mexican team is cleared by Neuer, which then turns into a counter-attacking opportunity for the Germans. The ball finds Kroos, who tries to strike it from about 30 meters away. He doesn't fully catch the effort and it deflects off of a teammate behind for a goal kick.
15'
Kimmich Cross
Kimmich again drifts out to the right side of the pitch and receives the ball. With lots of time, Kimmich puts in an excellent cross which is just cleared behind for a corner.
14'
Free Kick Mexico
The Mexicans win a free kick as Kroos handles the ball while asking for a foul himself. The resulting cross comes in and headed towards goal but the shot isn't strong enough to give Neuer any problems.
12'
German Shot
Ozil chips a ball over the top of the Mexican defense and is able to find Kimmich, but the striker's effort is weak and doesn't threaten Ochoa.
9'
Good shot from Herrera
Herrera receives the ball in the midfield before taking a shot from 25 meters - his effort is caught easily by Neuer.
