Last duels
Without risking
If Mexico wants to go to the next phase, the first thing is that it needs to win, in case of falling, the Mexicans would have to wait for the result of the France vs Japan match. If France scores one or three points, the tricolor would automatically be out of the contest. The other option is for France to fall and Mexico to only receive one goal.
