Match PreviewPreview: Mexico vs South Korea
Mexico’s toughest group test: Son Heung-min and South Korea’s counter-attack against the hosts in Guadalajara.
Mexico's second group game in Guadalajara could be the one that confirms a place in the last 16 — or exposes the old flaws. South Korea, driven by Son Heung-min, are the most dangerous side the hosts face in Group A: quick in transition and unafraid of a big stage.
Mexico will want the group settled early so they can rest legs for the knockouts. Korea will sense that a result against the hosts changes everything. Expect Mexico to dominate the ball and Korea to threaten on the break, a classic tournament chess match with the Estadio Akron roaring the hosts forward.
A draw suits neither side, which should make for an open game. Kick-off is 04:00 in Kenya time. Back your team and call the score on the match page.
