MOSCOW - A goal from Hirving Lozano gave Mexico a 1-0 surprise win over defending champions Germany in their World Cup Group F match here on Sunday.
The majority of the 80,000 fans at the Luzhniki Stadium were Mexicans and Lozano induced a deafening roar when he ran onto a Javier Hernandez pass before cutting inside and firing a low shot past Manuel Neuer.
Both sides created several chances in an entertaining first half, but Mexico looked more lethal against an uncharacteristically disorganized German defence.
