Mexico became the first team to secure their place in the Round of 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Friday. They beat South Korea 1-0 in the Group A clash in Guadalajara. The co-hosts secured qualification by winning both of their group stage matches so far.
Luis Romo's second-half strike was the key moment for Mexico, which helped them emerge triumphant. The midfielder capitalised on an error from the opposition goalkeeper, Kim Seung-gyu, whose spilt catch inside the box gifted Mexico a breakthrough early in the second half.
