Mexico will face the Asians with the intention of sneaking between the four best teams of the tournament and be very close to the podium.
Your opponent will not be easy at all. South Korea had a near-perfect pace in Group B. The Asians achieved a pair of wins and only one loss . Their triumphs were achieved against Romania and Honduras, the latter was crushed 6-0 . In their two victories South Korea scored 10 goals and did not allow any.
