2026 World Cup: Mexico in the next stage
The Mexico national team has officially secured its place in the next stage of the 2026 World Cup after a decisive match against South Korea. According to the Akhbarinkhabar channel, although they described the game as a "boring night" (شب کسالتبار), the victory was achieved thanks to a mistake by the South Korean goalkeeper, which led Mexico to accumulate 6 points and secure its place in the knockout stage.
The game sparked great interest due to the special historical connection between the two countries. According to Akhbarinkhabar reports, the Mexican crowd chanted cheers in the style of "Korean, brother, you are already Mexican!". This bond was born at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when South Korea dramatically defeated Germany, which helped Mexico advance to the next stage that year. This year, Mexican fans chose to demonstrate their affection outside the South Korean embassy.
The Akhbarinkhabar channel published a statistical comparison of the last five matches between the two teams ahead of the encounter. Simultaneously, the Akhbarinkhabar Varzesh channel provided live coverage of the game's progression, closely following the developments that determined the fate of the group in the current tournament.
