Czech Republic 0:3 Mexico — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Mateo Chávez scored the opener as Mexico swept the Czech Republic 3-0 in the World Cup, the midfielder's goal setting up a dominant second-half display that leaves them without a confirmed next fixture for now. The Czechs had controlled much of the first period but found themselves trailing after the interval.

The turning point arrived in the 55th minute when Mateo Chávez converted from Luis Romo's pass to break the deadlock, and Mexico doubled their lead six minutes later through Julián Quiñones, supplied by Jorge Sánchez. Edson Álvarez was booked in the 64th minute, but the Czechs could not respond, and Álvaro Fidalgo added a third in stoppage time from Roberto Alvarado's assist.

The Czech Republic were the better side in the first half, but Mexico deserved the win after turning the game on its head after the break. CheckLive's model clearly favoured the Czech Republic, yet the result did not confirm that prediction, though live signals backing Mexico at 1.2 were proven correct. No next fixture is scheduled.
