    I like the look of the Mexicans here, apart from the right-back. I could definitely do a better job there!

    South Korea 0-0 Mexico

    Brilliant counter from South Korea.

    Red Bull Salzburg man Hwang Hee-chan absolutely rips Edson Alvarez on the right-edge of the box, turning right and left before having the composure to clip a ball to the back post.

    In comes Lee Yong for a certain goal, but his volley is blocked on the line by a superb Hirving Lozano block.

    The South Koreans are not messing around, they are really getting stuck in here.

    This time Kim Young-gwon comes across and treads on Mexico captain Andres Guardado's foot.

    That's gonna sting a bit.

    Guardado slaps the turf in frustration.

    Hoping for a great game here. I'm half-Korean and my girlfriend is Mexican. A 0-0 would be fantastic.

    A 5-5 would be even better.

    Three South Korea players will have to salute during the national anthem.

    Defenders Hong Chul, Kim Min-woo and midfielder Ju Se-jong will have to salute because they are all on military service.
