Lee Kang-in the Key as South Korea Face Mexico

With the opening round of fixtures now complete, attention turns to the second set of group games, and one of the most anticipated is Mexico against South Korea in Guadalajara on Friday morning UTC.

According to The Guardian's match preview, the player to watch for South Korea is Lee Kang-in, who led all players in chances created and dribbles completed in the Koreans' opening win over Czechia. He is expected to reprise his fluid number ten role and serve as his side's chief creative force against a Mexican team that will be energised by a home crowd following their own opening match draw.

For Mexico, the pressure of playing in front of their passionate home fans at the iconic Azteca, having already shared the points in game one, makes this a must-watch occasion.
