    Mike Daly: Too many penalties. Nearly every game has one, and plenty have been soft. There is no way that South Korean defender intended that.

    He was sliding on the ground with his arm in the air, it is a clear penalty, Mike.

    Trevor Durham: So many penalties at this World Cup. And that’s even with the two obvious ones on Kane and the obvious one on Mitrovic being mysteriously not given. Incredible.

    Syed Abdul Razak: I think this World Cup is going to be decided by penalties and not by football. Shame.

    14 so far and we are still in the group stages, there were 13 in the whole of the last World Cup.

    South Korea 0-1 Mexico

    Mexico almost get a quick-fire second, but Miguel Layun's thumping drive from 25 yards out is tipped over the crossbar by Jo Hyeon-woo's acrobatic save.

    A super stop, that was heading for the roof of the net.

    Jang moved his hand towards the ball, afraid to let the ball go across the six-yard box.

    Perfect penalty, brilliantly driven in by Vela, no question at all, the referee kept him waiting for what seemed an age.

    Now we are going to see a real game, Korea have have to come out.

    How have South Korea not scored??

    Star man Son Heung-min is played through on goal by a lovely weighted pass over the Mexico back line.

    The Tottenham man takes his time by cutting on to his left foot, which allows the opposition to retreat.

    His first effort from eight yards out is blocked by one centre-half, his second the other, before scuffing his third shot wide.

    It is so important that Mexico's midfield players Hererra and Guardado supply the ammunition.

    If they can get Lozano into the game, he can make the chances for Chicharito.
