France were beaten by Mexico 2-0 and are highly likely to be knocked out of the World Cup in the first round. In the first half, Mexico had a number of chances to take the lead. In the 19th minute of the second half, Hernandez, picked by Marquez with a through ball, sprung the offside trap and made it 1-0.
The second goal was scored by 37-year-old Blanco on a penalty in the 34th minute.
