Mexico did the hard work in the first half to earn their second win of the tournament against a South Korea side lacking not in effort but in quality.
Mexico
Guillermo Ochoa (GK) - 7
Rarely called upon but on hand when required, reading and acting upon threatening situations. He loses a mark for second-half histrionics when Ki slid in to challenge him, though - it didn't hurt that much, mate.
Edson Alvarez (RB) - 6.5
The young full-back's early confrontation with Ki didn't throw him off of providing decent attacking support to his teamates.
Carlos Salcedo (CB) - 6
A little ponderous, clumsy and careless in the first half. If he had produced this performance against the Germans, he may well have been punished.
Hector Moreno (CB) - 7
A little clumsy with one or two of his challenges but on the whole, Moreno enjoyed another decent day at the office.
Jesus Gallardo (LB) - 7
He was challenged on numerous occasions in the second half by Son, a man on a mission, but Gallardo held firm.
