Match Details:
South Korea vs. Mexico
2018 FIFA World Cup
Date: 23 June 2018;
Time: 17:00
Stadium: Rostov Arena
At the Rostov Arena,
Mexico finds an opponent he knows
well. This Saturday, June 23, it will be the thirteenth confrontation between
Mexicans and Koreans. For the moment, the record is clearly to the advantage of
the teammates of Javier Hernandez with 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. The two
teams met at the Olympics, in friendlies but especially once in a World Cup. It was 1998 and Mexico won
3-1.
They created the sensation of this World Cup and do not intend to stop there. In the wake of their
incredible victory won at the surprise of Germany (1-0), the Mexicans face
Sweden to get closer to the round of 16.
They will once again count on their attackers at once fast,
mobile and technical to make outsmart their opponents. Faced with Mexico, South Korea is already no longer allowed to miss after its misstep
against the Swedes. The South Koreans showed worrying signs of weakness. Apart
from Son Heung-min, who scored twice, and goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo, decisive on
several occasions, the rest of the players appeared to be overtaken by the
event. It's up to them to right the bar.
