Mexico opened its 2014 World Cup campaign with a hard-earned 1-0 win over Cameroon in Natal, Friday.

Striker Oribe Peralta swept home the winner in the 61st minute, after Giovanni Dos Santos’s shot bounced off the midriff of Cameroon goalkeeper Charles Itandje.

Mexico enjoyed greater possession, and had to overcome the frustration of two disallowed first-half goals, a stubborn opponent and torrential rain to earn three vital points in Group A.

Mexico will now play host nation Brazil on June 17 in Fortaleza, while Cameroon will travel to Manaus to play Croatia June 18.
