Mexico go through

Mexico are the first team through to the round of 16 after Luis Romo got the only goal of the game early in the second half and make it two wins from two for the co-hosts. Bayern's Minjae Kim (l.) and Mainz's Lee-jae Sung both started in Guadalajara for South Korea, who are still well placed to advance from Group A after winning their opening game.

GOAL!

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

19 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
