VELA CAN THRIVE FOR MEXICO

MEXICO stunned hampions Germany in their World Cup opener, with goalscorer Hirving Lozano taking the plaudits.

Equally as important was ex-Arsenal attacker Carlos Vela (right), who did a diligent job in denying Toni Kroos space.

A creator rather than a finisher nowadays, Vela can dominate in El Tri’s next encounter when they should be too strong for South Korea.
