Commentary
The full-time whistle sounds at Mexico City Stadium as Mexico defeat Czechia 3-0 to make it three wins out of three, and dump Czechia out of the World Cup! Koubek’s side had the best chance of the first half as Visinsky fired wide of the left-hand post with a first-time finish. However, it was Mexico who took the lead 10 minutes after the break as Romo played in Chavez, who slotted into the bottom-left corner to send the Mexican supporters wild. It got better for the co-hosts in the 61st minute as Quinones prodded home his second goal of the tournament. It all came after Holes’ clearance rebounded off Sanchez before falling kindly to Quinones. Substitute Fidalgo added further gloss to the scoreline in second-half stoppage time as he found the top-left corner, following Alvarado’s lay off. The game also saw Mexico legend Ochoa come on for his sixth World Cup. The result sees Mexico finish top of Group A, and as it stands, they will face Scotland in the round of 32. South Africa also progress to the next round after defeating South Korea 1-0 in the other Group A contest. Czechia created 13 shots, with one on target, reflected by an xG of 0.47, whereas Mexico registered 11 shots with five on target, highlighted by an xG of 1.79. That concludes our live commentary of this 2026 World Cup Group A contest. We hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and take care!
FULL-TIME: CZECHIA 0-3 MEXICO
Brilliant from Alvarado, who showed the awareness to pick out his team-mate for Mexico's third!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! IT GETS BETTER FOR MEXICO, WHO NOW LEAD 3-0!!! Gimenez makes a driving run into the box from the right before seeing his attempt saved by Kovar. It falls to Alvarado, who has the awareness to pick out Fidalgo, and the substitute curls an absolute beauty into the top-left corner! Wild scenes at Mexico City Stadium!
In the other Group A game, it remains South Africa 1-0 South Korea. South Africa will progress to the round of 32, whereas South Korea will face an anxious wait...
