Mexico and South Korea will aim to make it two wins out of two at the FIFA World Cup 2026 when they meet in Guadalajara, and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
Co-hosts Mexico kicked off the tournament in style as they beat nine-man South Africa 2-0 in the opening game at Estadio Azteca, with Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scoring either side of half-time. Now, Javier Aguirre's men travel approximately 500km west to Guadalajara determined to record a second victory that would all but guarantee a spot in the last 32. Quinones and Jimenez will 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 the Azteca.
South Korea have actually played in Guadalajara more recently than Mexico, their come-from-behind 2-1 defeat of Czechia here coming courtesy of Oh Hyeon-gyu's 80th-minute winner. A point from their remaining two games, with South Africa still to come, should be enough for Hong Myung-bo's side to reach the knockouts, but they will take control of Group A if they beat the co-hosts. Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min were lively against Czechia and will surely be key to South Korea's hopes of victory here, while Hwang In-beom is another to watch after scoring a brilliant equalizer last time out.
