PORTUGAL 2-1 MEXICO



Portugal made it three wins out of three in Group D as they defeated Mexico 2-1 in Gelsenkirchen through goals from Maniche and Simao Sabrosa on Wednesday, 21 June 2006.



While Portugal advanced as group winners to face the second-placed team in Group C - either Argentina or the Netherlands - in a Round of 16 tie in Nuremberg on Sunday, Mexico joined them in the knockout stage after finishing second with four points. El Tri will take on the Group C winners on Saturday in Leipzig.



The Mexicans trailed 2-0 inside 24 minutes in Gelsenkirchen after Maniche shot Portugal into a sixth-minute lead and Simao Sabrosa doubled the advantage from the penalty spot. Jose Fonseca made it 2-1 in the 29th minute but Omar Bravo's missed spot-kick in the second half ensured a defeat for Ricardo La Volpe's team. Mexico also suffered the loss of Luis Perez to a red card, which means he will miss the Round of 16 match through suspension.

在盖尔森基兴的世界杯体育场，D组的葡萄牙队2-1战胜了墨西哥，以这个小组第一的身份进入了下一轮16强的淘汰赛。由于在另外一场同组的比赛中安哥拉被伊朗1-1逼平，墨西哥得以以小组第二的身份也晋级下一轮。



开局刚刚6分钟，葡萄牙就取得领先。18号中场球员马尼切(MANICHE)为葡萄牙队首开纪录。仅仅18分钟后， 西芒又利用点球将比分优势扩大到2-0。此后墨西哥奋勇反击， 何塞丰塞卡(FONSECA）在第29分钟扳回一球。但布拉沃在第57分钟踢飞点球，4分钟后中场球员佩雷斯又被红牌罚下，墨西哥尽管在剩下的不到30分钟的时间里拼力苦战，但最终未能进球。
