Mexico completed a perfect Group A campaign with a commanding 3–0 victory over Czechia, securing maximum points and advancing to the Round of 32 as group winners. The defeat eliminated Czechia from the tournament.
| Minute | Scorer | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 55' | Mateo Chávez | Mexico |
| 61' | Julián Quiñones | Mexico |
| 90+4' | Álvaro Fidalgo | Mexico |
Mexico broke the deadlock early in the second half through Chávez before Quiñones doubled the lead six minutes later. Fidalgo sealed the victory in stoppage time.
The first half was relatively even and ended scoreless, but Mexico took complete control after the break. A youthful Mexican side, featuring 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, created the game's decisive moments and maintained its defensive solidity throughout. Czechia struggled to generate clear-cut chances despite needing a win to keep qualification hopes alive.
Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa also made a historic appearance, becoming one of the few players to feature at six World Cups.
Despite Czechia enjoying more possession, shots, and corners, Mexico were far more clinical in front of goal and converted their key opportunities.
Final Score: Czechia 0–3 Mexico.
