Mexico Shatters 40-Year Knockout Drought | MLS News
Description
Mexico shattered a 40-year drought with a stunning 2-0 knockout win over Ecuador at the Estadio Azteca, ending the infamous “fifth game curse” and proving they’re ready to make a deep World Cup run on home soil. Julián Quiñones opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, and Raúl Jiménez sealed it just nine minutes later. Their flawless group stage—three wins, zero goals conceded—combined with surgical attacking precision, signaled a team built for pressure. The roaring crowd fueled their momentum, and with a clean sheet streak intact and the round of 16 looming against the winner of England vs. DR Congo, El Tri is firing on all cylinders. This isn’t just a win—it’s a statement of intent.
