It wasn't pretty and it wasn't quite enjoyable, but the Mexican National Soccer Team Under 22 defeated Haiti by 1-0 to reach the semifinals of CONCACAF's Pre-Olympic Tournament, looking for the ticket to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The only goal by scored by Raúl López with a penalty shot at 73. The kids will face Honduras on Wednesday.

With this result, the current Olympic champions obtained six points and reached the first spot on Group B, while the Haitians were left with zero, beyond any hope.
