Mexico squared off Wednesday against the Netherlands side that sent them home from the World Cup in heartbreaking, and possibly underhanded, fashion. And El Tri got some rough, early revenge on the Dutch team in the form of an accidental boot from Chicharito to the face of Dutch defender JetroWillems.

Netherlands were awarded a free kick but no card was given and Willems remained in the game after the incident.
