Mexico City, June 18:
After winning their respective opening matches at the World Cup, Mexico and South Korea will fight to claim all three points again and book their place in the next round when they face each other in Guadalajara.
Mexico humbled South Africa 2-0 in an electrifying atmosphere at the Mexico City Stadium. South Korea, meanwhile, were trailing against Czechia but turned it around in the second half to claim all the points in a 2-1 win.
South Korea will pose more threat to Mexico than South Africa but the co-hosts will have the advantage of playing an extra man, which is the home crowd. On the field, like they showed in their previous game, Mexico will play with high energy and a lot of physicality.
Good news for head coach Javier Aguirre that his two most potent scores in Quiñones and Jiménez scored in the previous game. Buoyed by form and crowd, Mexico will push for the win which will guarantee their spot in the next round.
