2-0
A total of four gunners were included in this match, Vela representing Mexico while Diaby, Sagna and Gallas started the game for France.
The game in itself didn't provide too much action, although France played much better than they did against France and Mexico provided some really entertaining football, there weren't too many clear chances.
Vela got injured in the 31st minute and had to be replaced, really disappointing as he played really well, but hopefully it was nothing serious, he's already had his fair share of injury problems this season, and it would be awful for him to miss the rest of this world cup.
Diaby was given a place in the starting XI once again for France, and once again he did really well in the midfield, and as a result of that he got to play the entire game !
But France were really poor on the offensive side, they only had some half-chances and never looked too close to scoring.
Mexico's first goal came when Hernandez (hate the fact that he of all people had to score, since he just signed for United and dad couldn't stop talking about the 'amazing' Hernandez after that and that the manager now would have 'no choice' but to let Hernandez play instead of Vela in the next game) went completely alone with the 'keeper and easily scored, replays shows that he was offside though.
Later on in the second half Mexico extended their lead as Vela's replacement Pablo Barrera ran into the box and was brought down by Abidal, a crystal clear penalty that Blanco dispatched.
France had nothing to reply to that, Domenech didn't even use his last substitution, disappointment for Henry as he remained on the bench.
