Javier Hernandez and Antonio Valencia experienced mixed
fortunes on Tuesday night, as Mexico and Ecuador were both involved in
World Cup 2014 qualifiers.
Javier Hernandez scored
Mexico’s only goal of the game when he stole in at the back post to
bravely head home on the hour-mark and sink Costa Rica. El Tricolor are
clear leaders in Group B in the CONCACAF (North, Central American and
Caribbean) region, having won all four of their qualifiers to date.
Meanwhile,
in Montevideo, Antonio Valencia’s Ecuador drew 1-1 with Uruguay to move
Ecuador to within a point of group leaders Argentina in the CONEMBOL
(South America) branch of the draw. But the night ended on a sour note
for the Reds winger, who picked up two late bookings – the second a
harsh decision in the 90th minute – to earn his marching orders. He will
now miss Ecuador's next qualifier, against Chile, in October.
