Mexico, one of the host countries of the tournament, won the first ticket to the 1/32 final stage of the World Football Championship.
According to Modern.az, Mexico defeated the South Korean national team with a minimal score in the second round of Group A. Luis Romo scored the only goal for his team.
As a result of victories in the first and second rounds, Mexico is the leader of the tournament table with 6 points. South Korea has 3 points, while the Czech Republic and South Africa have collected 1 point each.
Thus, regardless of the result of the last round, Mexico became the first national team to advance to the “play-off”.
It should be noted that the teams that take the first two places in each group and the 8 third-place teams with the best results will advance to the 1/32 final stage.
