Mexico's clash with the USA took a worrying turn when Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez was forced off in the 62nd minute. The experienced striker pulled up clutching his hamstring, prompting immediate medical attention on the touchline.

Team doctors quickly decided to substitute the forward, leaving Mexico without their most prolific goal threat for the remainder of the contest. The 62nd-minute change shifted momentum as the hosts looked to regroup without their talismanic leader.

Post-match assessments are underway to determine the extent of the hamstring damage. Mexico will be anxiously awaiting results, knowing Chicharito's fitness could prove crucial for their World Cup campaign moving forward.
