Mexico wake up with six points, and the Azteca finale is about control now.

Romo's goal changed the week without changing the job.

The South Korea score is settled now: Mexico 1-0, clean sheet, six points from two. The useful part this morning is what it does to the Czech Republic match. Mexico do not have to chase the group from the opening whistle. They can manage it from the front.

That matters at the Azteca. A final group match in Mexico City can get loud for the wrong reasons if the table is tight. This one arrives with breathing room because Mexico handled South Africa and then found the one goal they needed in Zapopan.

What carries into Czech Republic

The clean sheets are the strongest thread through Mexico's tournament so far. South Africa could not break them. South Korea could not either. That gives the Czech Republic match a clear shape: stay organized, do not invite a frantic opening, and let the crowd build behind possession instead of panic.

The attack can still be sharper, but a group stage is not graded on style first. It is graded on points, control, and whether the next match starts with the table helping you. Mexico have that part in hand.
