Since the 10th minute of the match, Martinez had excelled in his goal to repel the attacks of El Tri, which made itself felt a lot in the area of La Selecta, which in attack did not have many options. 

How was Mario Martinez's game against Mexico?

Although La Selecta's forwards did not have an outstanding performance, Martinez did manage to shine in the match, in which he prevented Mexico to crush El Salvador, and in which he only allowed 2 goals. 

Since the 10th minute, the goalkeeper was saving his team, as in that minute, Uriel Antuna of Mexico managed to send a dangerous cross into the area, which was repelled by the Salvadoran goalkeeper. 

The action was repeated in the 14th minute when Alexis Vega tried to finish off a cross in the Salvadoran area, but Martinez once again deflected the danger. And when the goal was scored in the 17th minute, the Sele goalkeeper had managed to keep out Araujo's first shot, but Uriel Antuna was there to shoot on goal.

And the only other goal that the Alianza FC goalkeeper was able to score was a penalty kick, which was taken by Raúl Jiménez, but in confrontations with the forwards, the goalkeeper of El Salvador was always successful and therefore, he was the best player of La Selecta.
