About this match

Mexico and Czechia faced each other at the 2006 World Cup, where the Czechs won 3-1 in the group stage with two goals from Jan Koller. Mexico has been chasing the ghost of the 'fifth game' for decades — seven consecutive World Cups eliminated in the round of 16, a national curse. Czechia, who arrived at 2006 as one of the favorites with Nedvěd and Rosicky, also knows the pain of short campaigns. Two talented teams that need to exorcise their own demons.
