In FIFA World Cup, Mexico defeated South Korea 1-0 at the Guadalajara Stadium, Mexico to become the first country to qualify for the knockout Round of 32, today. Following a tactical, scoreless first half where clear chances were sparse, the decisive breakthrough arrived in the 50th minute. Mexican midfielder Luis Romo capitalised on a major defensive blunder, turning the ball into an empty net after South Korean goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu collided with his own defender, Lee Gi-hyuk, and spilt a high ball.
