Fifa World Cup 2026
Mexico Edge South Korea 1-0 to Tighten Grip on Group A
Two wins from two matches and a pair of clean sheets, Mexico have started their home World Cup just as they would have hoped.
Full-time: Mexico 1-0 South Korea
South Korea were disappointing. The effervescence and one-touch ball movement that drove Czechia ragged a few days ago was nullified by Mexico’s defensive solidity and innumerable poorly timed runs.
Son was substituted after an hour, and it was the replacement target man that had his team’s only decent opportunity of the night but Cho was denied by Rangel from point blank range.
The Taeguk Warriors must now avoid a calamitous result against South Africa to confirm participation in the round of 32.
