In a cardiac game at the Estadio Akron, Mexico capitalized on an egregious mistake to defeat South Korea 1–0, a win that sees El Tri secure the top spot in group A with a game to spare.
With regard to the dreadful first half, the less spoken about the better; however, the game completely changed five minutes into the second half, when a disastrous mistake courtesy of goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu and defender Lee Gi-hyuk allowed Luis Romo to tap-in Mexico’s match winner.
