A comeback built across both halves
Mexico led the attempt count sixteen to thirteen and shots on target eight to five. Their goals came at separate stages: an equaliser before halftime followed by two second-half strikes. That sequence explains how the early deficit became a win rather than treating the final score as a lead held throughout.
