Huge Error by Jesús Gallardo and Johan Vásquez Puts Mexico in Trouble Against Serbia

The Mexican National Team faced Serbia in their final preparation match ahead of the 2026 World Cup, where there is no room for experiments before the opener against South Africa. However, the first half exposed significant weaknesses within the squad.

Defenders Johan Vásquez and Jesús Gallardo committed a terrible error in communication and coordination while attempting to stop the Serbian attack. The collision between the two players allowed Petar Stanic complete freedom to score the opening goal of the match.

This defensive lapse has brought back memories of Mexico's past struggles in World Cup tournaments.
