It wasn't Talavera's fault, Martino showcased the man responsible for the first goal against Uruguay
Uruguay were far superior to Mexico in the first 45 minutes and Gerardo Martino shows who was responsible for the Charrúa goal.
In Mexico's match against Uruguay, El Tri was completely outplayed by the offense led by Edinson Cavani. Gerardo Martino decided to start with a line of 5 defensively, where there were three central defenders, including César Montes, Nestor Araujo and Jesús Angulo, while Jorge Sánchez and Gerardo Arteaga were on the wing.

Matias Vecino opened the scoring and Edinson Cavani scored the other two goals for the Uruguayan team. However, in the first half, the goal came from a corner kick that Cavani headed in, which Talavera saved but left the ball drifting where Vecino took advantage to score.
The culprit was Jiménez, who was at the near post and couldn't get the ball out and simply tried to stretch to prevent the goal, but it wasn't enough.
Why couldn't Raúl Jiménez clear the shot?
It is complicated for the Mexican striker to go into an aerial duel, especially after his skull injury, and Martino showed this by placing him at the near post for corner kicks.
