Czechia — Mexico

Kulo mdlalo, kwakukhona umbuzo omkhulu ngaphambi kokuba kuqalwe e-Estadio Azteca: Ingabe i-Czech Republic, enendlela yayo yokudlala eqinile yase-Europe, ingakwazi ukubhekana nomsindo wezihlalo, ukuphakama, kanye neMexico edlala phambi kwabalandeli bayo? Imizuzu engamashumi amane nanhlanu, impendulo yabukeka njengokuthi "yebo" okungakhululekile, okuklabalasayo. Isigamu sesibili saphendula ngenye indlela — futhi ngokuphimisela. Ake siqale ngezinombolo. I-xG yaseMexico: 1.79. I-xG yaseCzech Republic: 0.47. Umphumela ongu-0:3 ngamathuba amahlanu amakhulu e-El Tri — lokhu akukhona ukuphanga, lokhu kuyinto ejwayelekile. Amathuba amabili amakhulu aphuthelwe anciphisa umphumela. ICzech Republic yenza umsebenzi wayo esigabeni sokuqala — ibhulokhi elincane, ingcindezi nge-Adam Hložek, ohamba phambili kubo ngesilinganiso esingu-7.36. Kodwa nansi iqiniso elinzima: amashothi angu-13, elilodwa elibhekise esangweni, amathuba amakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye. Ukuhlasela kweCzech kwakuyindaba, hhayi iqiniso. Esigabeni sesibili balawula ibhola kakhulu — 58% — kodwa lokhu kwakuyimpahla yeqembu elalisele licwila. IMexico esigabeni sokuqala yajaha, yashoda ukubekezela engxenyeni yokugcina. Kodwa ukuhlela kabusha ngemuva kwekhefu kwaba okunembile. U-Mateo Chávez wavula isikolo ngomzuzu wama-55, u-Julián Quiñones waphinda kabili ngomzuzu wama-61 — imizuzu eyisithupha eyaphula umdlalo. Ukushintshwa kathathu kweCzech Republic ngo-Tomáš Souček no-Patrik Schick akushintshanga lutho. U-Álvaro Fidalgo, ongene ngomzuzu wama-72, washaya ngesikhathi esengeziwe — isilinganiso esingu-7.34, igoli elivela ebhentshini. U-Israel Reyes ngemuva — 7.67, uthembekile futhi uzolile umdlalo wonke. U-Edson Álvarez wathola ikhadi eliphuzi ngomzuzu wama-64 — umzuzu okufanele ulandelwe kamuva. Ku-FootLegion, amagoli ezwe lakho ngeke athathwe muntu — ngokungafani nebhola, lapho isikolo sishintsha emizuzwini eyisithupha. Umbuzo wengxoxo: Ingabe uhlelo lweCzech Republic esigabeni sokuqala lwalunesibindi noma lwalungenalwazi nje uma kubhekwa i-xG, eyayilindele isikhathi sayo? Futhi ingabe iMexico ingakwazi ukwenza okufanayo ngokumelene nezimbangi ezihleleke kakhulu eqenjini?
