Mexico 2-0 Bosnia-Javier Hernandez

Mexico responded during a free kick in the fifth minute. Edgar Pacheco took a free kick and found Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez at the edge of the box. ‘Chicharito’ received the ball, but his shot was off target and flew past the side of the goal.
Again, ‘Chicharito’ could have opened the scoring for Mexico in added time of the first half. Dos Santos made a run down the left flank and sent the ball in to Chicharito in front of goal. The Manchester United player missed the opportunity to push the ball for the goal. 
‘Chicharito’ drew a penalty in the opening moments of the second half. Emir Spahic put a hand across ‘Chicharito’s’ face, the Mexican player went down and the referee pointed to the spot. He stepped up to take the penalty and shot with his right foot straight at the goal. Hasagic saved, but on the rebound the ball rolled across the line in a scuffle. Miralem Pjanic received credit for an own goal.

Bosnia tried to respond in the 50th minute with a shot from Sejad Salihovic, but Corona made the solid save.

Pacheco added a second goal for Mexico in the 55th minute. Corona sent the ball out with a goal kick and the Bosnian defense had trouble controlling the ball. Pacheco had made his way up the field and stole the ball. Hasagic was out of his goal and Pacheco sent the shot into the back of an empty net for the 2-0 advantage.
