World Cup 2018: Top 5 players after the first round of group stages

#2 Hirving Lozano

Lozano scored the winner for Mexico against Germany

One of the biggest upsets of the World Cup so far must be Mexico convincingly defeating the defending champions Germany. The European giants had been labelled as one of the early favourites but failed to turn up against a perseverant Mexico side.

The only goal of the match was scored by PSV winger Hirving Lozano. The 22-year-old is one of the best talents on show at the World Cup and he proved it against the Germans.

Apart from the goal, Lozano made three key passes and four successful dribbles. The youngster made some important defensive contributions as well, winning all of this three tackles and making two interceptions.

Lozano will be key for El Tri going forward into the tournament and more can be expected from him.
