The Guadalajara Stadium welcomed South Korea fans for their side’s encounter against co-host Mexico

Mexico captain Edson Alvarez made a acrobatic goal-line clearance early in the half to deny Son Heung-min, though it was eventually flagged offside

The cagey first half saw only five shots on goal from both teams and an expected goal figure of 0.11 for each team

South Korea keeper Kim Seung-gyu’s costly drop in the box allowed Luis Romo to score the opening goal of the game

It was a relatively early exit for Son Heung-min, who was subbed off in the 57th minute with his side trailing

Kim Seung-gyu redeemed himself a touch with a couple of good saves but South Korea could not find a way through at the other end

Raul Rangel had to come up with a stunning double save in the 88th minute to help Mexico past the finish line
