Summary
Mexico’s El Tri shattered a 40-year knockout stage drought with a thrilling 2-0 win over Ecuador, sending shockwaves through the World Cup as they become the first CONCACAF team to eliminate a CONMEBOL side in knockout play.

With an unbeaten streak of 12 games and dominance at Azteca Stadium, the team is riding a wave of confidence—and fans are already dreaming big as they prepare to face the winner of England vs. Congo.
