Aguilar was in Colombia's side on the field fighting for control of the ball with Gerardo Galindo when he kicked in it the Mexico's direction. The ball took a lucky bounce and ended up inside Mexico's unprotected goal.
Nobody expected the kick to go in, so the Mexican defense was caught off guard and goalkeeper Moises Muņoz was too far away from the goal to prevent his team's elimination.
This seems like revisionism to me. Don't want to start a flame war here, but this must have been written by a Mexican reporter. This is not what I saw - Aguilar saw that Muņoz was off his line and took a chance and it paid off. It didn't look like it "took a lucky bounce" to my eyes - it looked like he kicked it directly into the goal. I taped the game and watched the replay several times, and reviewed it again this morning thanks to this link:

It was not a lucky goal. It did not take a lucky bounce. Mexico's goal was unprotected because the keeper was out of position. Wonder if that would have happened to Sanchez.
Nobody expected it to go in, so the Mexican defense was caught off guard? Huh?
Has Aguilar said anything about it? It reminded me slightly of the goal that Brazil scored against England when the keeper was off his line although that was on a free kick.
Thanks, Mexico, I was looking forward to a good old border war in New Jersey now I got to wait for September. At least Panama got rid of RSF...
