Minor Futbol Upset

  It is always fun to photograph a little game action, and when you get World Cup contenders in town it just makes it that much more exciting. Mexico was on a tour of the United States, playing some of the potential rivals in Russia this summer. Croatia was the team they met at ATT Stadium in Arlington with the outcome not going quite to plan. The Croatian team took a 1 to 0 lead with a penalty kick in the second half and despite a frenzied attack by the Mexican team and lots of an support, the score remained the same.

Domagoj Vida (21) and Filip Bradaric (24) block Hirving Lozano (8) on a rush.

The Croatian defense is a little rough on Mexican forward Hirving Lozano.

Fans ask for just one goal.
