Czechia face Mexico in winner-takes-all Group A finale

Czechia's World Cup fate comes down to this: a must-win clash against Mexico in the Group A finale, and it will not be on free TV (1). After a 2–1 loss to South Korea and a 1–1 draw with South Africa, only a result against the host nation keeps the knockout stage alive. Memo Ochoa starts in goal for a Mexico side that needs nothing less itself. The maths are unforgiving, only the top two and the best third-placed sides advance, and Czechia currently sit on a single point.
