After surviving Costa Rica on penalty kicks in the quarter-final thanks to some Memo Ochoa’s heroics, Mexico once again found themselves trying to close a game late on.

But a controversial foul call in the 93rd minute helped El Tri put the game away in extra time. Raul Jimenez stepped up and buried the eventual game-winner.

Underdogs Haiti put in a convincing performance against the heavyweight champs, nearly sealing the equalizer in the 119th minute only to hit the crossbar.

The penalty awarded to Mexico early on was a cruel way to end Haiti’s impressive run. The team won their group and made it to the semi-finals for the first time ever.
