Mexico and South Korea are aiming to open their respective World Cup campaigns with back-to-back victories when trading blows at Estadio Akron on Thursday.
After each won its opening fixture in Group A, Mexico and South Korea both know another triumph in Zapopan will clinch a round of 32 berth with a match to spare, and potentially even secure a first-place finish depending on the outcome of Czechia’s game against South Africa earlier in the day.
