Mexico return to the Azteca with six points and Czech Republic still to handle.

The score is still to come, but Mexico have earned a calmer walk into the finale.

Two wins and two clean sheets put Mexico in the position every home crowd wanted before this Czech Republic match. The job is not finished, and that is the point. El Tri can make the Azteca feel settled by managing the first half properly instead of letting the table tighten around them.

Czech Republic arrive as the third opponent, but the pressure is mostly about Mexico's own rhythm. South Africa and South Korea both left without scoring. If Mexico keep that defensive line clean again, the night can become a control game rather than a nervous final-round scramble.

What the Azteca crowd will watch first

The first signs will be simple: whether Mexico move the ball early through midfield, whether the wide players receive facing goal, and whether Czech Republic are forced to defend long stretches rather than pick off loose passes. That is how a loud home night stays useful.

Luis Romo's winner in Zapopan gave Mexico a practical reminder that group matches do not need to become festivals to count. A tight, clean, controlled result would fit the tournament just fine, especially with the knockout path beginning to come into view.
