MEXICO CITY, June 22 : Mexico have already booked their place in the knockout stage and guaranteed top spot in Group A, but Wednesday's match against the Czech Republic may still carry more risk than the standings suggest.
Thursday evening felt special at the majestic Guadalajara Stadium. Packed with the Mexican faithful – including the city’s own, boxing legend Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez – and the traditional song Cielito Lindo ringing throughout the night, Mexico became the first team to reach the World Cup knockout rounds.
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Mexico took advantage of a defensive blunder by South Korea to win 1-0 on Thursday night and become the first team to advance to the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup.
GUADALAJARA, Mexico, June 18 : Mexico coach Javier Aguirre played down his team's achievement of topping a World Cup group for the first time since 2002 after their 1-0 win over South Korea on Thursday, saying the real measure of success would come later in the tournament.
June 18 : Luis Romo's second-half winner sent Mexico into the World Cup knockout stage as Group A winners, but the co-hosts' 1-0 victory over South Korea owed more to opportunism and defensive resilience than attacking fluency.
Meksiko menang 1-0 dalam babak penyisihan Grup A yang digelar di Estadio Guadalajara, Jumat (19/6) pagi WIB. Gol tunggal El Tri hadir via tembakan Luis Romo di menit ke-50 usai memanfaatkan miskomunikasi antara kiper Kim Seung-gyu dan bek Lee Gi-hyuk.
GUADALAJARA, Mexico: Mexico booked their place in the World Cup knockout stage as Group A winners and secured home advantage for the Round of 32 after Luis Romo's second-half strike earned the tournament co-hosts a 1-0 win over South Korea on Thursday (Jun 18).
LOS ANGELES: Mexico and South Korea will aim to punch their ticket to the World Cup knockout rounds on Thursday when they meet in Guadalajara knowing a win would guarantee a last 32 berth. The Group A rivals head into the fixture at the Estadio Akron fresh from respective victories over South Africa and the Czech Republic in their opening games last week. The expanded 48-team format for this year’s World Cup — and the fact that the eight best-ranked third-placed teams will advance from the group stage — means that a win for either Mexico or South Korea would see them advance. Co-hosts Mexico eased past a poor South Africa in their opening game last week but are bracing for a significantly tougher test against a South Korean side studded with quality. “We have to be very wary of the opponents’ attacking transitions,” Mexico coach Javier Aguirre said. “When we are attacking, we can’t let our guard down; if there are two Koreans up front, there need to be three Mexicans.” The build-up to Thursday’s game has seen shrouded with intrigue, with a mystery drone spotted over South Korea’s training ground on Tuesday. Yonhap news agency reported that a South Korea team security officer spotted the device, and a Mexican military drone-interdiction specialist stationed at the training camp brought it down by emitting radio signals. Two men who were suspected to be the drone operators retrieved the crashed device and fled the scene in an incident which South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo described as “unfortunate” but insisted “did not impact us significantly.”
