'No wonder Trump wants a wall!' - Marvellous Mexico take plaudits after running Germany ragged

Mexico went into Sunday's World Cup debut as rank outsiders against Germany, but by the end of the first half it was the 2014 champions who were reeling after a magnificent display. 

Juan Carlos Osorio's men harried their opponents incessantly, and kept them on the back foot throughout with some brilliant counter play. 

And after a few near-misses, El Tri finally broke through thanks to Hirving Lozano's wonderful strike to go 1-0 ahead. 

While Germany will still be hopeful of clawing back in the game, the world champions will have some work to do against their dangerous rivals  - who delighted fans on social media.
