The co-hosts eased to their 2-0 win in a game which saw three red cards. South Korea and Czech Republic met in the other opening match in Group A, with the Asian side coming from a goal down to win 2-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexico took on South Korea on matchday two and emerged with a 1-0 win. That was enough to secure their passage to the knockouts. The Czech Republic and South Africa played out a 1-1 draw that kept both nations in the hunt for qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final Group A games saw South Africa pull out a 1-0 win over South Korea in what was a relatively dull affair. Mexico meanwhile, made it three from three as they secured a 3-0 win over the Czech Republic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-world-cup-2026-group-a-results\">World Cup 2026 Group A
