Czechia 0-3 Mexico: FIFA World Cup 2026 to win all their group A matches. That too with an impressive record, without conceding a goal. The co-hosts were emphatic throughout their group matches. Meanwhile, Czechia bid farewell to the World Cup 2026. They failed to win any of their World Cup games. They return with a point after playing all three group matches.
Mexico are on course to play Scotland, as it stands, in the knockout stages, while Czechia were dumped out at the expense of South Africa, who beat South Korea 1-0.
This was only the second time Mexico had made at least five changes to their starting line-up from one match to another in a single World Cup campaign, and it showed early on as Denis Visinsky flashed a shot past the left post in the eighth minute.
With the game wrapped up, goalkeeper Ochoa was given the final 12 minutes in between the sticks, becoming the oldest player to appear for Mexico in a World Cup match at 40 years and 346 days old, surpassing Rafa Marquez against Brazil in 2018 (39y 139d).
And there was time for Ochoa to make an impact, but at the opposite end. His long punt forward found Roberto Alvarado, and he teed up Santiago Gimenez, who saw his effort repelled. However, Alvarado picked up the pieces and laid the ball back for Fidalgo, who rifled it into the roof of the net.
