Mexico coach Miguel Herrera will allow his players a small celebration after what he regarded as one of the best days of his life. A 3-1 victory over Croatia courtesy of goals from captain Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and Javier Hernandez ensured Ivan Perisic’s well-taken consolation three minutes from time came too late to save the Europeans, who had Ante Rebic sent off even later. The win puts Mexico into the last 16 to face Group B winners Holland but in the immediate aftermath of victory Herrera wanted to enjoy the experience.
