Copa day 8 ends with keeper howler and hosts through; see tables | OneFootball

The second round of the FIFA World Cup got underway this Thursday (18) with four matches on the eighth day of the tournament. 

The last of them featured Mexico and South Korea. It had a goalkeeping blunder and incredible saves.

Better for the hosts, who won 1-0 and have already secured a place in the pre-round of 16, with top spot in Group A guaranteed. 

Kim Seung-Gyu made a huge mistake by failing to punch the ball away, collided with Lee Gi-Hyuk, and watched Romo score (50'). 

The South Korean goalkeeper made amends with two great saves right after that, keeping South Korea alive.

And the equalizer only did not come thanks to Rangel, who made two saves in the 87th minute.

The South Koreans did not give up. But Mexico held on to celebrate. 

See below how the other matches went and then check the situation in all the groups.

Czechia were beating South Africa in the first match of the day until the Bafana Bafana equalized in the 83rd minute.

That was followed by Switzerland's rout of Bosnia in a match that was goalless until the 72nd minute. 

Then came the biggest scoreline ever recorded by a Concacaf national team in World Cup history. A match that was also marked by Koné's serious injury.
