Mexico's defense struggled all game with the five-man back line that Tata chose to field, which included three center backs and two full-backs. Cesar Montes, Nestor Araujo, Jesus Angulo, Jorge Sanchez and Gerardo Arteaga made up the defensive line.

Alfredo Talavera, along with the defenders, had a nightmare of a match and were outplayed at all times. The now FC Juárez goalkeeper could have done more in the last Uruguayan goal scored by Cavani.

Did Ochoa not play because he knew they would be outplayed?

No. Ochoa did not play by the decision of Tata Martino, to give minutes to Alfredo Talavera and give him a chance to establish himself as the starting goalkeeper, however, after this game, it looks complicated that he will take the place of Guillermo Ochoa.
