Mexico defeated Argentina by a score of 2-0 in the opening game of the Group C of the Under 17 World Cup 2015 in Chile.
Argentina played without character and was clearly incapable to face its better suited rival.
The Mexican superiority became clear just 10 minutes into the game, when Kevin Magaña eluded two Argentineans and took advantage of goalie Marcos Peano to open the score.
On the second half, Francisco Venegas scored the second with a penalty shot and now Mexico is set to face Australia while Argentina will meet the German team.
