Ochoa Swansong In El Tri Triumph | Czechia 0-3 Mexico | 2026 World Cup EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS
Mexico rout Czechia 3-0 as Ochoa makes a World Cup swansong appearance and Mexico advance with a perfect record
Extended highlights of Czechia vs Mexico at the FIFA World Cup, where Mexico won 3-0 to finish the group with a perfect record of nine points, six goals scored and none conceded, while Czechia went out in the group stage. The commentary credits Mexico's attacking flow and finishing while criticizing Czechia's chaotic defending. Ochoa comes on and becomes the seventh player aged 40 or over to appear at this year's FIFA World Cup.
- That was a golden chance for Visinski and he simply had to hit the target or score — Schulz's positive play and give-and-go down the right created the opening, but the shot went just past the far post.
- Martinez's pass was slightly behind his teammate and that killed the chance — If the pass had been in front of him he could have taken a touch and shot; because it was behind him he had to secure and recycle the ball, and the moment was gone.
- Mexico produced their best passing move of the match so far, but Sanchez wasted it by smashing the ball straight at the goalkeeper — The move had opened up rare space, yet he hit it straight at the keeper instead of choosing a better option.
- Chavez's first goal for Mexico was a brilliant finish, but Romo's work in the middle was even more outstanding — Romo showed tenacity to keep the ball, and Chavez opened up his body like a center forward and calmly passed it past the goalkeeper.
- After Mexico's second goal the game was surely over, Czechia had no way back, and Quinones was making himself a Mexican hero — Quinones scored again at that end of Mexico City Stadium to make it 2-0.
- This was another defensive disaster from Czechia, and it cannot be excused by Mexico's attacking intent — They were all over the place, ball-watching when runners went forward, not tracking runs, not winning challenges, and not aggressive enough in their own box, allowing Quinones to reach the ball.
- If Doera's volley had gone in it would have been a Puskas contender and would have pulled Czechia back into the match — He struck it on the volley from the left side, but the effort flashed just wide.
- Mexico are going through to the knockout rounds in style, they have picked apart this sorry Czechia, and they want to go deep in this competition — Fidalgo came off the bench to score and make it 3-0, with Mexico repeatedly cutting Czechia open.
- Fidalgo's finish was devastating and it was the icing on the cake for a deserved Mexico win; 3-0 may be slightly embarrassing for Czechia, but it came from poor defending — Czechia had been sliced open and Fidalgo calmly whipped the ball into the top corner; Mexico deserved to win, while Czechia simply did not defend well and were punished.

The pressure is off for Mexico with first place in group already in the bag. But opponents Czecha have an absolutely huge 90 minutes ahead here in the bouncing Mexico capital that is anticipating another three points. Anything other than a win will end their first World Cup adventure in 20 years. And they have to do it in a stadium where only two teams have [music] had success in a meaningful game here against Mexico. Panach nice ball into midfield. Sufal. A run here by Schulz. Ball's going TO COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND JUST PAST THE FAR POST. What a great early chance that was there for Dennis Visinski. >> It's a golden opportunity. All comes from positive play from from Schulz. A little give and go with with Sufal down the right hand side. He's got to hit the target. He's really got to score from there. slip forward and they've got a free man in the middle here. Mexico as well and only a chance. He comes back opportunity. Delay for so long and Kichi nods away. Alvarez getting stuck in and over. Well, they were all queuing up at one point there. Somehow Mexico haven't made the most of that situation and it remains goalless. >> Yeah, I think the pass from Martinez slightly behind Roma. He's out in front of him. He can step onto it, take a touch and shoot. But because it's behind him, he's got to secure the ball and then kind of recycle it. Then the opportunity is gone. [cheering] It's a nice knock down by way out. It's another effort that spins well away from goal. And it's an opportunity again for that man. Visinski Romo. Referee had a good view of that and just saw a slight pull and cheriff has given away the free kick here. Czecha understandably pulling everyone back. A team that has thrived on set plays certainly offensively having to do one off defensively here and they deal with it well for the overheads back in a statue but probably because he saw it flying wide in the end from Israel Reyes. Yeah, >> it's ambitious from Reyes. There's probably nothing else on it's good defending. Very difficult chance and does his best. Not that far away. Expected effort from Rage which is blocked as far as Chavez. Chavez Kinz. Something building here for Mexico. The free man is there. PUNCHED AWAY BY Kovash and hoods well to safety. The kind of opening, the kind of space that Mexico have seldom had so far. >> Yeah, it's the best passing flow we've seen so far from Mexico. But Morg Sanchez, the rival, just smashes it at the goalkeeper. [cheering] Jonz, he's gone for goal. Certainly packed a punch with power. Just too much height. >> Oh yeah, certainly had the power and the pace, but see how far he is away from the target. The angle as well. Kovage reads it and if it's on target, he's there to make a save. Halime and goalless here at Mexico City Stadium. A few booze. Hard to tell exactly what that's aimed at from the locals here. Sual with this throw. Got the run there from Kchi again and the deflection on that effort made it easy for Anal. >> Yeah, but a positive start to the second half from Checkzech. They started the game on the front foot. They have to start the second half in the same vein. Sual fork. They could do with him in the middle. The deflection of that ball took it towards Kchi. Mexico scrambling to clear. Now they do through Reyes Romo. Excellent take down. That's phenomenal play. Now they've got three forward here in Mexico. And a real chance. Opening goal. WHAT A TIME FOR MATTEO CHES TO GRAB HIS FIRST GOAL FOR MEXICO TO BREATHE THE HOUSE DOWN HERE IN MEXICO CITY. The left [cheering] back flew forward and once he got there he never looked in any doubt. Well, it's delight for Mexico. This is a hammer blow for Czecha. They're on the front foot. They're in the Mexican half. They were threatening. But this goal, it's a brilliant finish. The left back on the right hand side of the pitch opens his body up beautifully to took it home. But Romo, the work he does on the the center spot is truly outstanding. His tenacity just to keep hold of the ball is pretty incredible. And he finishes this Chavez like a center forward. He's left footed in so he just opens his body up. He has a look at the goalkeeper and just passes it home. Brilliant finish but the work from Romo truly outstanding. Stepping in the footsteps of Dad Paulo who scored twice for the national team at the back end of the 90s. It's Chavez Jr. who's doing it here. And now Czecha in all kinds of problems. Ed well there by Martinez on defensive duty. It's Ma trying to take check it on all by himself. He's now got support. Ma. Oh, he can slip it through here. Wonderful through ball. Oh, WHAT A SCRAMBLE BALL. AND KINZ MAKES IT TWO. GAME OVER SURELY NOW. THAT IS CHECKMATES. [cheering] He's on the mark again for Mexico. NO WAY BACK NOW FOR CHECK. But Julian Kinores is making himself a real Mexican hero at this World Cup. He scores AT THAT END OF MEXICO City Stadium again. Points in the bag. Take nothing away from the Mexican attacking intent, but this is another defensive disaster from Czecha. They are all over the place. They're ball watching when there's forward runners. They're not doing the basics, tracking runs, you know, winning challenges, just not being aggressive enough in their own box. You know, Ginz, he should be allowed to get to that ball, but he is. Sure sight there of Oscar Perez. Another Mexican legend, [cheering] legendary goalkeeper of Kru Zazul. 55 caps for the national team. [cheering] Guoaha is limbering up and Javier Gu wants to make the switch now. In fact, he's going to make a double change and the header open from Kinones. >> [cheering] >> Coming off Raul Ranghal. [cheering] He won't worry too much about this. He's only got 10 seconds to make his way from his penalty area to the sideline. But coming on, a national hero. [cheering] He is the seventh player aged 40 or over to appear in this year's FIFA World Cup. Only seven players in their 40s had appeared in the first 22 additions. An effort flashes wide there by Doera. [cheering] Well, all of a players in there were together. Hit on the volley in the end by doera attacking off the left hand side. That would have been some way to pull his side back into things. He would have been a push gas contender there from Dogeera had that found the net. Jimenez running through the middle. He can wrap it up once and for all. BLOCKED WELL BY KOVASH. ALVARADO SETS IT IN. IT GOES NOW. ALBERO FIDALGO FOR MEXICO. [cheering] A show of CELEBRATING IN HIS CAMEO. THE BEER IS FLYING around us. MEXICO GOING THROUGH TO THE KNOCKOUTS IN SOME STYLE. THEY HAVE PICKED APART this sorry check and they want to GO DEEP IN THIS COMPETITION. MAKE NO DOUBT about that. Well, there's two or three opportunities for Mexico to score here. Yeah, the fight had gone out of check here. They were just sliced wide open. It looks as though they actually got away with it, but Fidalgo is a devastating finish. Just whips the ball into the top corner. >> You can understand Czecha. They've got plenty of bodies on the pitch. short in defensive numbers are absolutely wide open. Jimenez just actually overd does it but that is a devastating finish from Fidalgo. No panic just a fast whipped pass into the top corner. It's the icing on the cake for Mexico. They deserve to win the game. You have to feel for Czecha cuz 3-0 is maybe slightly embarrassing but they they just haven't defended well and Mexico have punished them. Full time Mexico's journey continues. We knew that already, but it's the end of the line for Czecha who bow out in the group stage. The group is one with a perfect record. Play three, one, three, scored six and conceded none. Nine points amassed.
