Mexico found moments of promise but ultimately fell short of the consistency needed to progress beyond the group stage. Goals proved hard to come by, with just 2 in 3 matches, and their lack of firepower ultimately told.
Mexico experienced an inconsistent group stage, and the mixed results were not enough to go through. Their campaign featured a 0-0 draw with Poland, a 0-2 defeat against Argentina, and a hard-fought 2-1 win against Saudi Arabia. Despite moments of quality, it was not enough to advance, and Mexico's campaign ended at the first round.
