Mexico Advance to World Cup Knockouts After Dramatic Win Over South Korea
Mexico have booked their place in the 2026 World Cup knockouts by beating South Korea in Guadalajara.
After a drab — and goalless — first half, Luis Romo profited from an error made by Korean goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu and finished nicely into an empty net.
Goalkeeper Raul Rangel secured the win for Mexico in the 87th minute as he made a wonderful double save to keep out Cho Gue-sung and Yang Hyun-jun.
Mexico are the first team to have won both of their first two matches and are into the round of 32.
