With tears in his eyes as he sang the national anthem, Alexis Vega showed his excitement at starting his first World Cup match. And it was no wonder, since wearing the 10 of the Mexican National Team in this type of scenario must undoubtedly be an extraordinary experience.
Vega played 84' in El Tri's 0-0 draw against Poland and took the opportunity to show his skills in front of millions of spectators.
Alexis lined up as a winger on the left and showed a great interpretation of the game by occupying space and accompanying himself in the right way. He completed 1 dribble, shot 3 times and hit 24 passes (80%). In addition, he provoked a yellow card in the second half, which conditioned the Polish defense.
For his part, Roberto Alvarado remained on the bench hoping to play against Argentina next Saturday, a match that represents a great deal for Mexico's aspirations and as well as for the Albiceleste, whose surprising defeat against Saudi Arabia was widely publicized around the world.
