Can see that being an draw possibly.

Mexico: Rangel, Gallardo, Vasquez, Alvarez, Sanchez, Gutierrez, Lira, Romo, Quinones, Jimenez, Alvarado

Subs: Acevedo, Ochoa, Reyes, Chavez, Fidalgo, Mora, Chavez, Varges, Pineda, Vega, Gonzalez, Huerta, Martinez, Gimenez

South Korea: Kim, Lee, Kim, Lee, Kim, Paik, Hwang, Seol, Lee, Lee, Son.

Subs: Song, Jo, Kim, Cho, Lee, Castrop, Kim, Park, Bae, Lee, Cho, Hwang, Oh Yang, Eom

Lee Kang-In booked for South Korea.

Now that's a clearance and a half from Mexico.

Not the best game so far surely it can get better you would hope.

It's looking like that might be what happens, almost half time and both teams look like they've agreed on getting a point each. This is one of the drawbacks of having the possibility of 3 teams going through in the same group.

Yet albeit unlikely but there could be an scenario where all four teams finish with 4 points.

Four minutes of added time in this first half.

0-0 at the half. Hopefully the deadlock is after halftime.

That happened in the 1994 World Cup in a group that coincidently involved Mexico. The only time in World Cup history where all teams in a group finished with the same amount of points.

Romo opens the scoring for Mexico after Kim Seung-Gyu dropped the ball, 1-0 Mexico.

Paik Seung-Ho booked for South Korea.

14 of South Korea’s most recent 15 World Cup goals have come in the second half.

Six minutes of added time to endure and for Mexico to be the first country into the last 32 unless South Korea can get an equaliser.

Really disappointingly low-quality game settled by a goalkeeping mistake.

But it does mean that Mexico have won Group A and made the glamour tie against England at the Azteca in the last 16 looks likely.

Bit of a disappointing game after the previous two were pretty high scoring.

Ireland were in that group too and should have been in this group. How on Earth did we end up getting beat by that Czechia side??

Only Meeting between Czech Republic and Mexico:

08/02/2000- Czech Republic 2-1 Mexico (Chinese New Year Tournament)

When Czech Republic was Czechoslovakia:

07/06/1962- Mexico 3-1 Czechoslovakia (World Cup)

29/04/1961- Czechoslovakia 2-1 Mexico (Friendly)

This will be the first ever meeting between South Africa and South Korea when they play each other at 2am (UK Time).
