Mexico beat Ecuador to win their first men's World Cup knockout stage match since 1986.
Goals from Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez — the two scorers in Mexico's 2-0 victory in their World Cup opener against South Africa — earned their country a place in the last 16, where they will face either England or DR Congo in Mexico City on July 5.
From the high of their win over Germany, Ecuador, who finished the game with 10 men following Piero Hincapie's red card for covering his mouth in a situation of confrontation, come back down to earth at a raucous Estadio Azteca.
