FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: South Africa score!

In the other Group A game, South Africa have scored against South Korea, only to increase the trouble for Czechia, who are staring at elimination now. Thapelo Maseko scores the goal for RSA, who now have a great chance of qualifying for the next round as one of the best third-placed teams.

FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: GOAL!!!

61' - Mexico score again! Julian Quinones gets his name on the scoresheet. Extremely poor defence from Czechia, and they pay a heavy price for it. They are all but out of the tournament. Only a miracle could save them from here.

Czechia 0-2 Mexico

FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: GOAL!!! Mexico score!

55' - Left-back Mateo Chavez scores for Mexico!!! Romo does a good work around the centre line before passing it to Chavez, who runs from there and then deceives Sadilek before netting a brilliant left-footed strike. This is a huge setback for Czechia, who now stand on the vege of elimination.

Czechia 0-1 Mexico

FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: Mexico on the attack!

FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: Nice try that is!

A free kick for Mexico close to the box, but once again, they fail to take advantage of it. The hit is headed away by a Czechia defender before Israel Reyes attempts a bicycle kick. That goes away off the left post. Anyway, that is a good try!
