Mexico and South Korea will be aiming to make it two wins out of two at the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they meet in Guadalajara, and you can stream the match live around the world for free.
Co-hosts Mexico started the tournament with a bang by beating nine-man South Africa 2-0 in the opening match at the Estadio Azteca, with Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scoring either side of halftime. Now Javier Aguirre’s men travel around 500km west to Guadalajara, determined to record a second victory that would all but guarantee a place in the last 16. Quinones and Jimenez will once again carry the threat, while it will be interesting to see if 17-year-old Gilberto Mora gets another chance to impress after coming off the bench at Azteca.
South Korea actually played in Guadalajara more recently than Mexico, their 2-1 victory over Czechia here thanks to an 80th-minute winner from Oh Hyeon-gyu. A point from their last two matches, with South Africa still to come, should be enough for Hong Myung-bo’s men to reach the last 16, but they will take control of Group A if they beat the co-hosts. Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min were dynamic against Czechia and will surely be key to South Korea’s victory hopes here, while Hwang In-beom is another to watch after scoring a brilliant equalizer last time out.
