Mexico look to continue successful form vs. South Korea

It’s been over a decade since Mexico last dropped a game to South Korea. Now, in all fairness, these are two countries who don’t play each other very often. In their short history, Mexico own the upper hand, garnering 7 victories over South Korea. The Asian side have defeated El Tri on 3 different occasions, while there have been 2 draws (one of them came in the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup which the Koreans won in a penalty shoot-out).

These two played each other five times during the 1980s. South Korea won the first ever matchup by 1-0.
