MexicovsSouth Korea

Curator note: Group A top-of-table clash in Guadalajara — both won their openers (Mexico 2-0 over South Africa, South Korea 2-1 over Czechia), so the winner books early passage to the Round of 32. Mexico carry a slight edge with home crowd and altitude and lean on opening scorers Raúl Jiménez and Julián Quiñones, though César Montes is suspended after his red card. South Korea counter through Son Heung-min and Hwang In-beom — a genuinely tough one to call, and Son's threat means it could just as easily finish level.
