Mexico vs South Korea: World Cup Live Streams

Mexico kicked off this year's World Cup in style with a comfortable 2-0 win over South Africa last Thursday. It was an impressive and emotional victory for Mexico, with Raul Jimenez finally getting his first World Cup goal, on his first tournament start, at the age of 35. Javier Aguirre knows that a win against South Korea will book his team a place in the next round, his side having won their opening game at a World Cup for the first time. Julian Quinones looked lively against the Bafana Bafana and will again showcase his sinuous skills, but defender Cesar Montes will be suspended after his red card on Matchday 1.

South Korea looked down and out against Czechia in their opening match, but produced a thrilling comeback to secure a 2-1 victory thanks to a fine equalizer from Hwang In-beom, followed by Oh Hyeon-gyu's winner 10 minutes from time. That resilience will be key in helping them overcome patchy recent form and a febrile home crowd in Mexico, but the Taegeuk Warriors will also be looking to talisman Son Heung-min to guide them to success.

Here's how to watch Mexico vs South Korea in the FIFA World Cup online and on TV — starting with free streaming options.
