Czechia 0-3 Mexico – World Cup result as Gilberto Mora stars and Guillermo Ochoa makes special appearance in dominant victory for co-hosts

Julian Quinones, Mateo Chavez and Alvaro Fidalgo got the party started at Estadio Azteca as Mexico cruised to a dominant 3-0 victory over Czechia.

Rounding off Group A in style, Mexico made it three wins out of three to claim maximum points and ruthlessly dump Czechia out of the World Cup.

On the night he became the youngest player to start a World Cup game since 2002, 17-year-old wonderkid Gilberto Mora impressed for El Tri in Mexico City.

The attacking midfielder put on a performance way beyond his years as he lit up the Azteca, sparking the game into life with his creativity.

After a drub first half, Chavez netted the long-awaited opening goal for Mexico in the 55th minute, finishing a clinical counter-attack after being played through by Luis Romo.

Quinones then doubled El Tri’s lead six minutes later, poking home from close range after Tomas Holes’ poor clearance ricocheted into his path.

With a two-goal advantage and having netted in all three World Cup group games for the first time since 2002, there was even time for a Guillermo Ochoa swansong.

Ochoa, now 40, was brought on to replace Raul Rangel and appear in his sixth consecutive World Cup to a deafening cheer on 78 minutes.

There was then time for one last quake of noise as Fidalgo whipped in a third deep in stoppage time, finding the top left corner after a Roberto Alvarado lay-off.

It’s the end of the road for Czechia but for Mexico, it’s just the beginning as they mark their biggest World Cup win since 1970.

Mexico will face a third-placed team at the Estadio Azteca in the round of 32 and they have every reason to be confident they can progress.

The 3-0 win over Czechia made it three Group A wins out of three, with six scored and zero conceded.

The last host nation to win all three group matches without conceding? Italy in 1990.

South Africa's 1-0 win over Korea Republic is bad news for Scotland.

The Tartan Army were left vulnerable after their heavy 3-0 defeat to Brazil and they are now the seventh-best third-placed team.

Korea leapfrog Scotland as the fourth-best.

With the likes of Cape Verde, Belgium, DR Congo, Ecuador and Senegal all still to play, it's not looking good for the Tartan Army.

Mexico are joined in the last 32 by South Africa.

The Bafana Bafana beat Korea Republic 1-0 tonight to finish second in Group A.

It's the first time South Africa have advanced to the World Cup knockout stage.

This is well and truly a fortress. And a noisy fortress at that.

Mexico remain unbeaten at the Estadio Azteca in World Cup matches, increasing the streak to an impressive nine matches.

Including tonight's 3-0 triumph, El Tri have won seven and drawn two at this iconic stadium.

The full-time whistle sounds and Mexico celebrate their biggest World Cup win since 1970 in a deafening Azteca atmosphere.

It's the end of the road for Czechia but only the beginning for co-hosts Mexico, into the round of 32 as dominant Group A winners.

It's three and the party continues in Mexico City!

As if a comfortable 2-0 win wasn't enough, El Tri have rounded off Group A ruthlessly.

What a finish it is too from substitute Alvaro Fidalgo, who fires a worldie into the top left-hand corner after Santiago Gimenez's shot was parried.

There will be six minutes of stoppage time, with Mexico seeing this game out with the lion's share of possession.

There's been a huge goal in the other Group A clash as South Africa lead Korea Republic 1-0.

Thapelo Maseko is the scorer and, as it stands, South Africa will finish second in Group A to advance automatically to the last 32.

Oh dear, it's an awful sight as West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek rolls his ankle and goes down in significant pain.

Soucek was pressing Ochoa and tried to block the Mexico goalkeeper's clearance, but he missed the ball and his ankle twisted awkwardly.

Hopefully it was just a jarring motion, but it doesn't look good.

Soucek is forced off and replaced by Alexandr Sojka.

Mexico are seeing out this game with ease, so Czechia need a miracle if they are to stay in this World Cup.

Just eight minutes plus stoppage time remain and the European side need three goals.

Guillermo Ochoa IS going to have his swan song!

The legendary Mexican goalkeeper is on to appear in his sixth World Cup, at the age of 40.

What a moment, as he replaces Raul Angel.

Mexico's whizzkid, Gilberto Mora, is replaced after a terrific showing.

Alvaro Fidalgo comes on in his place.

Czechia legend and 2003 Ballon d'Or winner Pavel Nedved is watching on at the Azteca.

Oh, what the European side would do to have Nedved in the team for this final 20 minutes...

We've reached the second hydration break, which means there is now just one quarter of this match to go.

Czechia know they must score three goals if they are to progress to the World Cup round of 32.

Mexico are just winning for fun.

In the midst and aftermath of the two goals, there were a host of changes for both teams.

For Mexico, Obed Vargas and Santiago Gimenez are on for Luis Romo and Guillermo Martinez.

For Czechia, meanwhile, Lukas Provod, Tomas Soucek and Patrik Schick are on for Tomas Holes, Denis Visinsky and Adam Hlozek.

Mexico skipper Edson Alvarez is booked for taking out Adam Hlozek with a late sliding challenge.

It's two and it's bedlam in Mexico City!

Julian Quinones, who scored the first goal of this tournament, gets on the scoresheet again as he follows up at close range after Tomas Holes' poor attempted clearance ricocheted off Jorge Sanchez.

Gilberto Mora played a key role in the goal as he fed through Sanchez with a sumptuous through pass.

It’s a proud moment for Mateo Chavez as he scores his first-ever senior Mexico goal on his 12th cap.

In doing so, he follows in his father Paulo Chavez’s footsteps.

Paulo, now 50, scored two goals in 30 appearances for El Tri back in the day.

We have a breakthrough and it's left-back Mateo Chavez of all people!

Chavez finishes off a clinical counter-attack for Mexico, slotting past Matej Kovar after being played through by midfielder Luis Romo.

It's a goal celebrated wildly by the Azteca. But it's a gut-wrenching moment for Czechia, who now need to score two goals to have any chance of advancing in this World Cup.
