Confederations Cup 2013: Mexico vs Italy - Five Talking Points

Javier Hernandez had a real quiet game

The United striker worked tirelessly up front but apart from the penalty kick that he converted, he barely got to see much of the ball due to poor service from the Mexican midfielders or lack of it. ‘Little Pea’ had a chance early on to play the ball through to a charging Andres Guardado but eventually managing a feeble shot on goal which failed to test Gianluigi Buffon.

With the Mexican hopes firmly resting on his shoulder, Chicharito needs to up his performance in the remaining games if they are to advance from the group stages.
