Mexicans proved they are one of the sides that can make an impact on this World Cup. El Tricolor won their second group stage game. South Korea followed the way of Germany to lose to a quick paced Mexican side.

This time that was not easy for Juan Carlos Osorio. Koreans were prepapred to fight hard, as otherwise their chances of qualification would diminish. However, a first half penalty for a handball converted by Carlos Vela vividly frustrated the Asians.

However, they woke up after the break and pushed hard for chances. This was hard to predict where the game would go but for a goal by Chicharito. It came courtesy of great dribbling abilities of the forward. He made it 2-0 and Korean task became even more difficult.

In the dying seconds South Korea managed to score a beautiful consolation goal, but it did not help. Thus Mexicans almost placed themselves for the 2018 FIFA World Cup knock-out stage. Although they have a possibility to leave Russia if 3 teams pick 6 points each and goal difference will be counted.
