Meanwhile in Moscow: Sweden Sweep Mexico Away

Mexico, a thrilling qualification. Today’s game with Sweden was meant to be a mere formality for El Tri to clinch a spot in the Round of 16, but it rather risked turning into an atrocious disappointment for coach Juan Manuel Osorio. Mexico succumbed 0-3, and ultimately had to thank South Korea for their win over Germany, to save their spot among the best 16.
