Giovani Dos Santos and Hector Herrera scored extra-time goals Saturday to lead Mexico over an error-prone Senegal 4-2 and into the men's Olympic soccer semifinals.

Jorge Enriquez gave Mexico and early lead and Javier Aquino added another at Wembley Stadium. But Senegal rallied with goals from Moussa Konate and substitute Ibrahima Balde.

Mexico will next face Japan on Tuesday at Wembley.
