South Africa and Mexico Secure World Cup Knockout Stage Berths

Thanks for joining myself and Simon today.

Back tomorrow for six more games, including the huge clash between the Socceroos and Paraguay.

Here's how Group A looks after the final two games.

Mexico through as group winners, while South Africa qualifies in second.

It's the first time Bafana Bafana have qualified for the knockout stages.

South Africa shocked South Korea 1-0 in Monterrey to book its place in the round of 32.

Needing a win to qualify, Bafana Bafana created the better chances but lacked composure in front of goal.

The goal finally came on 63 minutes when striker Thapelo Maseko fired home.

South Africa goes through in second spot, while South Korea faces a nervous wait to see if it qualifies as one of the best third-placed teams.

Mexico made it three wins out of three with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Czechia in Mexico City.

Mateo Chávez coolly slotted Mexico in front on 54 minutes after a swift counterattack.

Julián Quiñones made it 2-0 after a mix-up in the Czechia defence.

Álvaro Fidalgo got a third in stoppage time with a clinical finish.

Czechia finished at the bottom of Group A with one point and exited the World Cup.

Álvaro Fidalgo puts the icing on the cake for Mexico.

A clinical finish from the midfielder, who finds the top corner.

It's all South Korea now.

Can they create a big chance?

They have six minutes to save themselves.

The Asian team has struggled to create much this second half.

South Africa is defending well.

Guillermo Ochoa is coming on as a sub.

The 40-year-old is playing in his sixth World Cup.

He retires after the tournament so is given a runout seeing Mexico is safe and through.

Nice touch!

If South Korea can't find an equaliser, they will finish third and have a nervous wait to see if they qualify for the next round.

South Africa will go through in second place.

Crazy stuff in Monterrey.

The goals are flying in!

Bafana Bafana lead.

Thapelo Maseko with the finish.

That's no more than South Africa deserves.

A win will put South Africa into the next round!

The home fans go wild!

There's a terrible mix-up in the Czechia defence.

A clearance ricochets off a Mexican player.

The ball falls to Julián Quiñones, who puts it into the net.

Game over.

At last, a goal!

Mexico goes in front after a swift counterattack.

The ball comes to Mateo Chávez, who coolly slots it past the keeper.

The home fans go nuts.

Czechia are heading home, barring a miracle.

Makgopa has had some decent chances today.

He looks to be clear but cuts back and is blocked.

South Africa needs to be more clinical or they are going home.

Start player Son Heung-min is on for the second half for South Korea.

Kim Jin-Gyu and Jens Castrop also come on as South Korea makes three changes.

Big roar for the arrival of Son Heung-min.

Hwang Hee-chan, Lee Tae-seok and Paik Seung-ho are off.

This often happens in the final group games.

All the teams know what they need to do to qualify.

Mexico are already through and South Korea only needs a draw.

The result? Two pretty dull games.

Czechia and South Africa both need to win, so hopefully we'll see some more action in the second half.

South Africa has had the best chances in this game.

Remember, South Africa has to win or they are going home.

Just need a bit more composure and quality up front.

The match has been short of quality.

That was an ambitious attempt of an overhead kick by centre back Israel Reyes.

Decent effort, but goes wide.
