Garciamendez keeps dream alive

In FIFA 2010 Women’s World Cup a second-half equaliser from Alina Garciamendez booked Mexico a place in the quarter-finals as Group C winners by virtue of goals scored, with adversary Nigeria also making it through to the make unconscious stages following their 1-1 draw in Bochum today.

Team Mexicans will get together the second placed side from Group D in Dresden, while Nigeria waits for the winners of the same section in Augsburg. Though, England and Japan, who made up the section, must travel home.

Inside the early stages of an amusing game, Nigeria had more of the ball but failed to make any clear cut changes, largely due to the obstinate pressing of the Mexicans, who forced their adversarys into making several errors. Though, the Africans took the lead with their first real chance of the game. Cecilia Santiago did well to turn Amarachi Okoronkwo’s shot out for a corner and from the resultant set-piece, Ebere Orji struck from close range after Esther Sunday headed Helen Ukaonu’s cross into her path.
