Mexico stun Brazilians with 1-0 victory

MEXICO scored an upset 1-0 win over world champions Brazil last night to seal their place in the semis of the Confederations Cup.

Jared Borgetti, who failed to score in the first half despite taking a penalty three times, emerged as Mexico’s hero glancing home a 59th-minute header.

Mexico are now unbeaten in 19 matches since Brazil beat them 4-0 in the Copa America last July and were worth their victory in a superb match played on a balmy night in northern Germany.

Mexico lead Group B with six points from their two matches, followed by Brazil and Japan on three and Greece bottom with none.

Japan ground out a 1-0 victory over Greece in Frankfurt in Group B.
