Raúl Jiménez headed in a Rodrigo Huescas cross in the 21st minute before Heung‑min Son and Hyeon‑gyu Oh put South Korea in front. Santiago Giménez equalized at 90+4 with a long‑range strike into the upper‑left corner past goalkeeper Seung‑gyu Kim. The AC Milan forward said goals feel the same in friendlies or official matches and credited teammates while giving thanks to God. Players framed the match as preparation for the 2026 World Cup and expressed conviction in Javier “Vasco” Aguirre and his staff. The late goal triggered a wave of memes and social‑media reactions from Mexican fans following the team’s up‑and‑down display.
