Mexico is out of the World Cup, but at least they scored a goal of the tournament contender

After advancing from the group stage in seven-straight World Cups, Mexico crashed out of Group C on Wednesday. El Tri defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1, tied Poland on points but fell one short on goal difference in heartbreaking fashion.

Mexico is out of the World Cup on goal difference!

Mexico beat Saudi Arabia but the third goal wouldn't come. Argentina beat Poland but the third goal, which would've gotten it done for El Tri, wouldn't come. When the final whistle sounded at Lusail Stadium, bringing the insanity of World Cup Group C to a close, it confirmed Argentina as winners and Poland as runners-up on goal difference (Poland's zero vs. Mexico's negative one).

It had been even closer than that.

México queda fuera del Mundial de la forma más cruel posible

La tabla final quedó así:

  1. Argentina: 6 puntos (+3)
  2. Polonia: 4 puntos (0)
  3. México: 4 puntos (-1)
  4. Arabia Saudita: 3 puntos (-2)

Sí, la diferencia fue de apenas un gol.
