About this match
Czech Republic arrives at Azteca in desperate shape: with just 1 point following a defeat to South Korea and a draw with South Africa, a win is mandatory — any other result would virtually end the Czech side's participation in the tournament. Mexico, on the other hand, arrives unbeaten and with a clean sheet, already with qualification in the bag and looking to seal Group A's top spot in front of their home crowd; defender César Montes, who served a suspension last round after being sent off in the opening match, returns to the backline.
