Mexico worry after a 2-1 loss with Sweden in Raul Jimenez's return: Highlights and goals

In their last preparation match before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Mexico lost 2-1 with Sweden at Montilivi Stadium in Girona, Spain. Manager Gerardo Martino put on the field a lineup really close to the one he'll use on November 22 in the opener against Poland.

The first 15 minutes for Mexico were extraordinary with vertiginous attacks by Alexis Vega and Uriel Antuna as wings. Antuna almost scored a brilliant goal on minute 43', but the ball hit the post. On the other side, Sweden had their most dangerous opportunity after an amazing play by Anthony Elanga and then a missed shot by Mattias Svanberg on minute 21'.

In the second half, Mexico finally got back Raul Jimenez after his injury and played in attack alongside Hirving Lozano. However, Sweden scored first in minute 54' with a goal from Marcus Rohden. Six minutes later, the Mexican squad recovered quickly thanks to Alexis Vega who put the 1-1. On minute 84', Mattias Svanberg gave the victory to Sweden.
