Carlos Salcedo almost gifted the Europeans the lead when he clumsily flung his left foot at a Joshua Kimmich cross, with the deflection rolling just wide of the post.

But Mexico continued to look dangerous going forward, with Vela in particular finding pockets of space.

Lozano put El Tri ahead in the 35th minute following a combination of slick passes and a deft through ball from Hernandez.

Germany's best chance came shortly after when Toni Kroos hit the crossbar with a free-kick after Kimmich was scythed down on the edge of the box. Replays showed that goalkeeper Ochoa may have made contact with his fingertips to keep the ball out.

Mexico have advanced to the knockout phase in each of the past six World Cups dating back to 1994

Only twice in their history have Germany failed to reach the quarterfinals and the last time it happened was in 1978 in Argentina - before any of the team's current players were born.
