Mexico vs. South Korea 2018 World Cup: El Tri on verge of another knockout round

Mexico (1-0-0, 3 points) vs. South Korea (0-0-1, 0 points)

Group F, Rostov Arena, Rostov-on-Don

Coming off a stunning victory over Germany, the 2014 champion, Mexico will face a South Korean team looking for its first win of this year’s tournament. South Korea’s loss against Sweden marked the first time the team lost its World Cup opener since 1998. On top of that, South Korea did not have a single shot on target in the matchup with Sweden. With a win in its second game of the group stage, Mexico will be poised to advance to its seventh straight knockout stage.
