What results does Mexico need to progress at the World Cup?

A penalty from Carlos Vela and Chicharito's goal saw El Tri past South Korea on Saturday and they are on the brink of making the last 16 once again

Mexico may not have provided the same fireworks against South Korea as in its World Cup opener but El Tri nevertheless picked up another priceless win in Russia to move towards the knockout stage.

Carlos Vela scored from the penalty spot and Javier Hernandez hit late in a 2-1 win that gives Mexico a perfect 100 percent record in Group F so far.

And having disposed of Germany in arguably the best team performance of the group stage so far confidence is sky-high in the squad.
