Having conceded six goals against the Golden Eaglets in their opening match at the FIFA U-17 World Cup on October 19, Mexico’s goalkeeper Raul Gudino has vowed to shut out the Eaglets from scoring in tomorrow’s final match at Abu Dhabi.

Gudino was a pitiable sight to behold in Al Ain on October 19 as a Kelechi Iheanacho-inspired Eaglets dismantled the Mexicans, who are the defending champions of the competition, and were tagged favourites to win the Group F game.

But Mexico have bounced back from that shocking experience and are now 90 minutes away from winning the title, a mission that Gudino feels is achievable if they play with zeal and purpose.

“We can win the final match if we play with purpose and not run after the Nigerians. We are a good side and have shown that we can overcome our setbacks”, Gudino told reporters after the team defeated Argentina 3-0 in the semifinal.

Having scored 23 goals so far, the Eaglets parade the most lethal attacking side and for Mexico to get anything out of this game, they must avoid conceding, a task that Gudino said he was equal to.

“I have learnt from my mistakes and will work hard to stop them from scoring”, said Gudino, who saved a third-minute penalty against Argentina, with the score still 0-0.

Reflecting on the semi-final game, Gudino said: “I did my job that’s all. I think we were not really concentrating at the start but I think my penalty save gave my colleagues confidence.

”In the end it was a very good win because the entire team worked hard all through the game.”
