The 13th-ranked Mexico team in the world ushered in an international football friendly match. The Mexico team played at its home court to face the 23rd-ranked South Korea team in this game.

The two sides have faced each other in the last three matches, and Mexico has the upper hand because Mexico defeated South Korea in those three matches, so before the game, more fans are full of confidence in Mexico's home defeat to South Korea. After all, the Mexican team is not only stronger on paper, but also has the advantage of home court. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Rodrigo Huescas made a wonderful pass, and 34-year-old Fulham strongman Raul Jimenez took the lead to help Mexico take the lead.

In the 21st minute of the second half, Son Heung-min received the header from his teammate Wu Xiankui and rubbed it. He volleyed on the left side of the penalty area to help the South Korean team equalize the score.

9 minutes later, Wu Xiankui received a delicate oblique pass from his teammate Li Gangren, dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area and shot from the far corner to help the Korean team overtake the score. In the 94th minute, Sanchez made a wonderful pass and Santiago Jimenez helped Mexico equalize the score.

In the end, the South Korean team drew with Mexico, and the South Korean team ended their three-game losing streak against Mexico.

It seems that the Korean team is very strong now.
