Mexico's winger Roberto Alvarado was a standout performer in his team's 2-0 victory in their World Cup opener. He provided the assist for Raúl Jiménez's second goal. The player expressed his immense joy at the opportunity to play in such a high-stakes match.
"It was a truly wonderful feeling, something indescribable, something I had always dreamed of: playing in a match of this magnitude, at home, in front of these fans. The game plan is always to go out and press. We then slowed the tempo a bit, but perhaps we lacked a little more patience and a bit more possession of the ball," Alvarado stated.
He then elaborated on how the cross for Jiménez's goal came about.
"I'm happy that Raúl managed to score that goal. At halftime, he told me to cross it to him. I didn't hesitate and knew that area could be dangerous. Thank God I made the assist, and Raúl was able to score that goal," the winger concluded.
