Czechia vs Mexico Highlights 🌎🏆 2026 FIFA World Cup

From one of the great cathedrals in world football to Mexican fans it will always be the Azteca. So tension in the air let's have a look at the two sides. Czechia have altered their team in three positions and among the surprises two players who haven't had a minute of action up until now. David Dodera of Slavia Prague the title winners and Denis Vyshinski of Victoria returns to the starting 11 but star man Patrick Schick who was underwhelmed so far begins on the bench. David Jurasic misses the match through injury. Mexico after successive wins both with clean sheets make five changes at all. Cesar Montes returns from suspension you'll remember he was sent off in the official opener against South Africa here. Mateo Chavez features for the first time at this tournament. Likewise Guillermo Martinez and Gilberto Mora at a mere 17 years and 253 days old becomes the youngest starter for Mexico stadium. One of the great venues in world football. Opening up for Schulz took a little deflection on the way through it but wasn't all that far away. Vyshinski had lined himself up. It's a glorious opportunity. His little stroke of luck with the bounce the spin on the ball here defeats two players and then opens up Vyshinski just drags in a fraction. Hits it really well on the half volley from that point just held by his body language. One point on the qualifying cafe it was all falling apart but they're here. Oh look at the space opening up Romo steadying himself. Martinez wasn't quite the ball that was needed. It was an optimistic effort and the whistle has gone. Anyway Edson Alvarez high up the pitch were ringing at the back for Czechia. Yeah that pass that square ball just behind Romo and then they felt the opportunity had really gone Wanting to get back onto his left foot taking it away from goal but the break is there for Mexico. They Czechia go forwards. They go forwards early. They commit bodies into that second ball trying to win it in midfield. In the Bundesliga they'll try to work something. Oh it was fed in there and all the way through to official them. He's never going to get there and from that point he just throws himself to the ground. Gets in a fight holding each other. Manuel Negrete with scissors kick that was set up by Aguilar. Now speculative shot there. Now that was Vyshinski he's shots happy who's come in for Czech. Yeah and it's another little knockdown same as the long throw from the other side. Touch out defeat and why not have a go. There's not a lot in front of him. That little bounce away from him just made it cut across it but Czechia are having the best. There's any need for four or five players around that wall space. Alvarado waiting and chipped in by Alvarado. Oh the acrobatic efforts and it would have been spectacular from Reyes had it gone in. Sense about coming forwards and why not in your home stadium in the World Cup. Perhaps goal you as your favourite club. Here's Quiñones. A nice little change of direction there. Kovac. Pleasing it down. Sanchez was the man who fired it across for Mexico. Yeah good pressure. It's all targets get forward and so far that was a team looking for that little head flick. Well the shot did come in. Good reflection on the way through to Rangel. Precic got a free run at it and it was his team mate. He got in the way. I'm feeling that's exactly how they scored against Korea. That's a collision there. Alvarado. Romo comes there. Gives the balance. Morada trying to play the telling ball. Romo. Nobody there to finish it off for Mexico. Another way up to Romo. Somehow kept that going. Shoveled it off. And how about this? Stylish. Really stylish. Mateo Chavez. Listen to the Mexican roar. Venturis Ron from the left back. Pays dividends for Mexico. Well the Mexican machine just keeps on rolling and Chequia at one foot out of the competition and this is why. Three players around Romo and they can't get a tackle in. Miss another tackle and then the composure from Chavez. He's got the time to pick his spot. He's got a time to open up onto his favorite left foot and pick his moment. And what a moment for the left back. Bombing on forwards but Chequia have only got themselves. They're egging him on the fans around us here at the Azteca. Sanchez unfairly attacking position. Kovacs was in trouble. Quiñones for Mexico. They're racing away now. How about this World Cup? Quiñones more Mexican mastery. Well it's not a pretty finish but it's a wonderful move. Brilliant through ball by the young man. Morada the vision. Kovacs just decides not to go with his hands and then from there Quiñones just to slam it home. But they've stepped it up again in this second half Mexico and the Czech Republic. Chequia have not been able to. There's a star man for Mexico at this World Cup. It would be Quiñones and that is going to be yellow. I'm all technically minded and that's all Mexico need to do now. Mexico the official opener so far. Need an accurate ball here and it wasn't all that bad as it was played in towards short. They've reverted to time. Just get the ball in the box. Get crosses in. They're asking more questions in the last two minutes than they have done in the previous 66. Hidalgo coming on now. They have the number up and Morada the youngster and they absolutely love it with good reason as well. 17 years and 200. Just allowing Mexico to play and bring on the party pieces. Raul Rangel makes way for the legend and we are talking about one of the greats of Mexican football. Guillermo Ochoa in his 40s now but age is not withering him and it's a delight to see Ochoa on the pitch at another World Cup. Well it's a standing ovation from 80,000. Santi Jimenez trying to team up there with Quiñones. That shot was always going wide from miles out. Ochoa would have been to be halted. Played down inside the box but they continue for now. It's not going to arrive at the feet of Quiñones. Now I think the referee's going to go back and have a look at what's going on. Final analysis. You might see quite a few shots listed against Dodera but none of them particularly troublesome. Yeah barely threatened does he. Well into some pressure where Mexico steps it up. Now do they have a third goal in them? Santi Jimenez was there. Alvarado trying to tee it up and there is the third goal and it comes from Alvaro Fidalgo. As they say here in Mexico Well start the party. This has been a cruise of a second half. Ochoa with the kick. He played a part in it and it's just opened up for them. From that point it was take your pick who's going to finish it off and it has been a walk over in this second half. Fidalgo the sub gets a moment to remember. Ochoa has his moment. We'll give him an assist but it has dreamed for Mexico in this second half and for the whole of the group stage. And Ochoa the conductor of the orchestra and it's quite a Mexican runaway in Group A. They've won again L3. A team effort and three second half goals. It's another clean sheet and Ochoa was able to join in the fun for the last few minutes and everyone here thrilled that Guillermo Ochoa got on the pitch in his sixth World Cup at the age of 40. Victory again for Javier Aguirre and his players congratulating Fidalgo for his late goal scoring contribution and Mexico will be back here at the Azteca on Tuesday in the round of 32. Mexico 3.
