Perfect Mexico eliminate Czechs

Already assured of top spot in Group A, Mexico then scored three second-half goals at the Estadio Azteca through Mateo Chávez, Julian Quinones and Álvaro Fidalgo (pictured) to maintain their perfect record as co-hosts and also eliminate Czechia, who started Robin Hranáč, Vladimir Coufal and Adam Hložek, also bringing on Patrik Schick, as they finish fourth on just one point.

What's at stake?

Mexico are already through to the next round as group winners, so all eyes will be on Czechia. Anything other than a victory will see them exit the tournament, while even three points would have them nervously looking at the ranking for the best third-placed teams if South Korea get the better of South Africa.

Last time out: Mexico

The co-hosts took their second win and became the first team to qualify for the last 32 with a narrow 1-0 victory over South Korea in Guadalajara. They are assured of topping Group A ahead of the clash with Czechia.
