The Mexico national team is enjoying a dream start to the 2026 World Cup, producing two victories from its first two games to win group A with a match to spare.
El Tri dominated South Africa in the opening game of the 2026 World Cup, cruising to a 2–0 win. The level of difficulty significantly increased for its second match, but Javier Aguirre’s men delivered, thanks to an opportunistic Luis Romo goal and a monumental double-save from Raúl Rangel, defeating a solid South Korea side 1–0. It marked one of the most important wins in Mexico’s recent World Cup history, far from spectacular, but enormously valuable.
