Mexico will be looking to continue their stunning start to the World Cup when they take on South Korea in the second of the three games on Saturday.
The Asian team started their campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss to Sweden. They are now facing the prospect of being eliminated at the group stages for a second consecutive World Cup.
On the other hand, Mexico stunned defending champions Germany in their opening game, with Hirving Lozano’s superb strike sealing a 1-0 win. Another three points would secure their spot in the last 16 and with form and momentum on their side, they would be looking to get the better of South Korea.
One team. One dream.
We are ready!!
