Mexico loses to Portugal but advances

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany - Portugal fielded its ‘’B” team and still won.

Mexico also won, in a way. Its 2-1 loss to the Portuguese didn’t hurt when Angola couldn’t beat Iran on Wednesday, allowing the Mexicans to advance to the second round of the World Cup.

Portugal won all three first-round games in Group D. It got goals by Maniche and Simao Sabrosa in the first 25 minutes, and Mexico’s Omar Bravo missed a chance to tie on a second-half penalty kick that soared over the net.
