The World Cup party was in full swing at Mexico City Stadium, with Guillermo Ochoa, in his sixth World Cup campaign, coming on as a substitute late on. 

Mexico is on course to play Scotland, as it stands, in the knockout stages, while Czechia was dumped out at the expense of South Africa, which beat South Korea 1-0. 

This was only the second time Mexico had made at least five changes to their starting line-up from one match to another in a single World Cup campaign, and it showed early on as Denis Visinsky flashed a shot past the left post in the eighth minute. 

Michal Sadilek and Visinsky continued Czechia's fast start, but it was unable to test Raul Rangel, but Mexico grew as the half went, and Jorge Sanchez lashed its first attempt on target straight at Matej Kovar as Quinones tried his luck from distance. 

Buoyed by the crowd inside Mexico City Stadium, Javier Aguirre's side opened the scoring in the 55th minute when Luis Romo bundled his way past three Czechia players before slipping in Chavez, who skipped beyond Sadilek's challenge and placed into the bottom-left corner. 

It got even better for Mexico on the hour when Gilberto Mora's incisive pass just evaded Sanchez, but as Tomas Holes went to clear the ball, his attempt deflected off the Mexico defender and fell kindly for Quinones to prod home.

With the game wrapped up, goalkeeper Ochoa was given the final 12 minutes in between the sticks, becoming the oldest player to appear for Mexico in a World Cup match at 40 years and 346 days old.

There was time for Ochoa to make an impact, but at the opposite end. His long punt forward found Roberto Alvarado, and he teed up Santiago Gimenez, who saw his effort repelled. However, Alvarado picked up the pieces and laid the ball back for Fidalgo, who rifled into the roof of the net.
