Mexico secured an easy victory in their World Cup debut, as reported from Azteca stadium. However, the event was preceded by significant logistical issues for the press. A FIFA-arranged media bus departed from central Mexico City four hours before kickoff, intended for an 80-minute journey to the stadium. The trip ultimately took nearly two hours due to the driver’s unfamiliarity with the route to Azteca. This delay caused frustration and disruption for journalists covering the opening match. The incident highlights potential organizational challenges during the tournament. Despite the travel problems, the game itself proceeded without issue for the Mexican team.
