Overview
- An early Swiss penalty confirmed by VAR was struck off the post by Nico Lazri, keeping the match scoreless before the breakthrough.
- Mladen Mijajlovic opened the scoring in the 17th minute and later sealed a brace, while Mexico conceded an own goal to fall behind 2-0.
- Aldo De Nigris cut the deficit with a 56th-minute header from an Ian Olvera cross, only for Switzerland to restore the two-goal margin within a minute.
- Switzerland finished unbeaten to win Group F with seven points, South Korea also reached seven, and Mexico ended third with three points and a -2 goal difference.
- Mexico must wait for Tuesday’s remaining results, with goal-difference tiebreakers likely decisive as it vies for one of the eight best third-placed spots, and it is provisionally seventh in that ranking.
