There was an odd moment in Mexico’s game against Italy, when a little bit of back-and-forth brought a collective giggle from the Abu Dhabi crowd.
Mexican keeper Raul Gudino tried to punch the ball out of danger, but it went straight to Antonio Romano, who headed against the post with his first touch from the edge of the box.
When the ball bounced back out again, Luca Vido tried to tap it home, only for Gudino to recover his wits and push the ball wide.
One wonders what Bora Milutinovic, who coached Mexico’s seniors when they hosted the FIFA World Cup in 1986 and was watching from the stands, must have thought about this impromptu game of pinball that broke out on the football pitch.
