Seeing your nation eliminated from the World Cup is undoubtedly a frustrating experience, but one Mexico fan may have taken things a little too far.

Mexico beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their final group game but ended up going out of the tournament on goal difference - after finishing level on points with Poland after three games played in Qatar.

And moments after their exit, one Mexico fan failed to control his emotions with footage showing him smashing his TV screen with a flurry of punches before bizarrely taking a knife to it in a blind rage.

The video begins with the Mexico fan punching the TV mounted on the wall before running off screen to collect a large knife - before repeatedly stabbing it. The emotional fan is then seen walking away from the TV.

Following Mexico's elimination from the tournament it was confirmed that manager Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's contract had been terminated.

Mexico drew 0-0 with Poland in their opening group stage fixture before suffering a 2-0 defeat against Argentina.

That set up a dramatic game against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Henry Martin's goal and a superb free-kick from Luis Chavez gave Mexico a two-goal lead.

At that stage, owing to FIFA's fair play rule, Mexico needed just one more goal to make it through to the knockout stages.

However, they were then eliminated on goal difference as Salem Al Dawsari scored for Saudi Arabia in stoppage time.

Poland ended up qualifying for the knockout stages despite a 2-0 defeat by Argentina.

Mexico's group stage elimination was their worst showing at the World Cup since they suffered the same fate at the 1978 tournament.
