"We play away from home, against the host team, with a lot of support from their fans, and fighting for the qualification". "Our players and myself were shouting at them and the New Zealand coach to stop the match".

Later on Wednesday, Mexico needed second-half goals by Benfica's Jimenez and Peralta to grab victory over New Zealand in a bad-tempered match at Sochi.

New Zealand battled back against their elimination after Oribe Peralta netted decisively, with Ryan Thomas striking the crossbar. I'd rather talk about how my team performed and really a performance that I guarantee no one at this tournament expected.

"We need to be positive, we need to be fearless". "And we deserve to go out on the field and do well". Both sides have 4 points after two games, and both would be guaranteed to progress with just a draw in their final group stage match.

There's no word on how bad the injury is but it seems the 23-year-old could be out for the remainder of the tournament. New Zealand may have given Mexico a tough time of it on Wednesday, but El Tri sent out a reserve squad and still did the job at hand.

Tommy Smith might have stabbed the Kiwis ahead with just 10 minutes gone when he only just failed too make the most of fellow defender Boxall's header down with the Mexicans struggling to cope at set-pieces. "In the second half we came out with a different attitude", he said.

Portugal defender Pepe wants his team-mates to remain faithful to the methods that won them Euro 2016 after further criticism of their playing style at the Confederations Cup. It will be a hard battle.

This historic event was made possible by the Confederations Cup's sponsor McDonald's, showing that football is open to disabled children and lets them get involved in global competitions.

Resident and neighborhood watch organizer Erin West says people are keeping an eye out for alligators that live in nearby ponds. BSEE also said that one rig was evacuated in the GoM. "If you live on the water, though, that's what's going to happen".

"Whether we are doing well or not people will always criticise us so we [the players] don't care what they say".

"But my players understand their roles".

The resolute Portugal defence then stood their ground and prevented the Russian side from scoring on multiple occasions.

"It's true that the camera shows some things I said but [New Zealand's] assistant coach is responsible for what happened".

"It's over, but he knows what he said to me", added Osorio when asked to repeat what was said.

Osorio is certain to be without midfielder Carlos Salcedo, who suffered a shoulder injury in the game against New Zealand.

Earlier, tensions erupted when Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio swore at the New Zealand coaching staff.

"I was very offended and I heard some insults in my direction in Spanish".
