Mexico and Korea Republic made winning starts in their opening FIFA World Cup 26™ games last time out.

Here's what to expect from the Group A leaders in today's encounter. 

Who is playing today? 👀

Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez struck a goal apiece for Mexico in the opening game of the tournament as they got off to the perfect start with a 2-0 win over South Africa.

Today's opponents Korea Republic did it the harder way in their first game against Czechia before the impressive Hwang In-beom levelled and substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu won all three points with 10 minutes remaining.

Those results mean both teams come in knowing that a point in Guadalajara will be enough to seal their progress to the knockout stages.

Players to watch 🔥

Quiñones made history with the opening goal of World Cup 26™ and will be a man that the opposition will be eager to keep quiet and succeed where South Africa failed.

Son Heung-min didn't get on the scoresheet in the opener but was a threat throughout and will be once again for his country.

Hwang In-beom, scorer of Korea Republic's first goal of the tournament, was arguably their star man on matchday one and has caught many new admirers with his performance.
