While the Azteca was celebrating, in Guadalajara a warning was brewing. South Korea, Mexico's next opponent in Group A, made their debut with a comeback that sent a message: 2-1 over Czechia. And it wasn't exactly comfortable.
Translation for the Mexican fans: the rival fighting for top spot doesn't give up even when trailing. Character, physicality and plenty of movement up front. If El Tri was thinking about coasting through the group, time to change that game plan.
South Korea came from behind and won 2-1 against Czechia in Guadalajara, with goals from Hwang and Hyeon-Gyu after Czechia took the lead with a header from Krejci.
Yes. South Korea and Mexico share Group A of the 2026 World Cup and face off in the battle for group leadership.
