Mexico and South Korea have the opportunity to win Group A at the 2026 World Cup with victory on matchday two.The hosts kicked off the tournament with a comfortable 2–0 win over South Africa—one that included an emotional first World Cup goal for Raul Jiménez—before South Korea came from behind to beat Czechia. It means a win here for either teams cements first place, as the group is decided on head-to-head record rather than goal difference.Mexico was comfortably better than South Africa at the world famous Estadio Azteca, dominating in every aspect of a game that saw three players shown red cards. Mexico took 16 shots on goal, had 20 touches in the opposition box, enjoyed 60% possession and completed 90% of its passes.South Korea was not as dominant against Czechia, but did all the hard work to come back from a goal down. Hyun-Gyu Oh’s 80th minute winner capitalized on the momentum that had been built after equalizing, and that confidence must be taken into a game that South Korea has only won four times in 14 historical meetings.Live Match TrackerMatch MomentumMatch StatsLineupsMatch SummaryREAD THE LATEST WORLD CUP NEWS, ANALYSIS AND INSIGHT FROM SI FCAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
