GUADALUPE, Mexico — South Africa head coach Hugo Broos said Tuesday his players will be ready to pounce on the weaknesses of South Korea when the teams collide in a crucial Group A match of the FIFA World Cup this week.

South Africa and South Korea will play their final group stage match at 7 p.m. Wednesday (local time) at Estadio Monterrey in Guadalupe, northeastern Mexico.

South Korea, currently in second place with three points, only need a draw to progress to the knockouts. South Africa, on the other hand, are in last place with one point after a 2-0 loss to Mexico and a 1-1 draw against Czechia. In order to advance, South Africa must beat South Korea or at least get a draw while receiving some help from Mexico and Czechia.

Broos, a Belgium native, said he is only thinking about winning.
