Czechia and Mexico lock horns in the final matchday of Group A. Mexico enters the contest unbeaten in the tournament, winning both its previous group stage matches against South Africa and South Korea, respectively.

Czechia, on the other hand, hopes to record its first three points of the competition. Nároďák opened its campaign with a defeat to South Korea before being held to a draw by South Africa in its second outing, despite starting as the favourite.
