An extra five minutes pre-game on ITV so they can - oh I’m sure you can guess.
Mexico - another team in their away kit for no apparent reason, white shirts with a strange shade of burgundy shorts - strong favourites for this based on both sides’ opening games, and they started strongly, gong ahead with a penalty after a clear handball.
South Korea responded well though and while the gap remained at one the Mexicans couldn't relax with chances being made at both ends.
On sixty-six minutes however Javier Hernandez turned brilliantly and scuffed a shot home to make it two. A touch of nerves at the back almost let South Korea in but they couldn’t take advantage of Márquez’s slip. But Son (or Spurs’ Son to give him his full name) smacked one in from distance with three minutes of added time left. Just a little too late to allow any attempts at an equaliser though.
Six points between the two sides now, but strangely Mexico are not through yet and South Korea are not eliminated yet. They both probably are though.
