Co-hosts Mexico had been confirmed as group winners prior to their final game in Mexico City, having already beaten South Africa and South Korea. That gave boss Javier Aguirre an opportunity to rotate his squad and left-back Mateo Chavez, one of five players brought into the starting line-up from their previous fixture, showed superb composure to net his first international goal just after half-time. Teenager Gilberto Mora, another player given his first start of the tournament, impressed in midfield and supplied the pass that led to Mexico's second goal, which was scored by Julian Quinones. Mora slid Jorge Sanchez through on goal and, although he was initially denied by goalkeeper Matej Kovar, a chaotic passage of play inside the Czechs' six-yard box ended with Quinones poking in a loose ball to score his second goal of the World Cup. Aged 17 years and 253 days, Mora became the sixth-youngest player in history to start a men's World Cup match and the youngest player to do so for Mexico. He received a brilliant ovation when he was substituted after 72 minutes and his replacement, Alvaro Fidalgo, found the top corner from 15 yards to complete the scoring. Aside from the goals, one of the loudest receptions at Azteca Stadium was reserved for 40-year-old Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa when he was brought on as a late substitute. Ochoa is in his sixth World Cup campaign, matching Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Lionel Messi, although he has only appeared in four of them as he was an unused squad member at the 2006 and 2010 tournaments.

Three points moved South Africa up to second in the table, behind Mexico, and left South Korea having to cling on to hopes of getting out of the group by being one of the best third-placed sides. They will face Canada in Los Angeles on Sunday in the last 32, at 20:00 BST. It was a game which rarely produced much excitement as South Africa were content with sitting back and waiting to hit their opponents on the counter-attack, while South Korea lacked quality in the final third. Maseko snatched an unexpected winner for South Africa, taking a touch to bring the ball to his left foot inside the box before stroking an effort through the legs of Jens Castrop and inside the near post. Before that, the greatest moments of jubilation inside the stadium had come from green-clad Mexico fans watching on as neutrals as they celebrated their side's goals against the Czech Republic. While South Korea dominated much of the ball it was the African side, who were tricky to deal with on the break, who produced the best opportunities throughout and they deserved their goal. South Korea rarely managed to threaten South Africa, with a tame Oh Hyeon-gyu header and an early Lee Kang-in strike among their rare chances. South Africa, who before this summer had not qualified for a World Cup since hosting it in 2010, have finished third in every other World Cup group stage they have featured in.

Morocco pegged the Caribbean nation back twice - thanks to goals from Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari - before Rahimi scored with 12 minutes to go and Yassine secured the victory. The win was not enough for Morocco to top Group C as Brazil comfortably beat Scotland in Miami and the 2022 semi-finalists will now face either the Netherlands, Japan or Sweden in the last 32. But they did deny Haiti a memorable night - despite the team ranked 83rd in the world taking the lead twice and doubling their total goals tally in the competition's history. Haiti were eliminated before their final game of the group stage after defeats by Scotland and Brazil but they managed to get their first World Cup goal in 52 years when Lenny Joseph's flicked finish came off Morocco keeper Yassine Bounou and found its way into the net. That 10th-minute opener went down as an own goal to deny Joseph the honour of becoming the first man to join Emmanuel Sanon - who scored twice in 1974 - as a Haiti scorer at the World Cup. But Paris St-Germain full-back Hakimi pulled Morocco level in the 39th minute, bundling the ball home when Haiti goalkeeper Johny Placide failed to get a strong enough hand to Brahim Diaz's strike. Then Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor scored one of the goals of the tournament when he fired into the top corner from 25 yards to spark jubilant scenes among the Haiti fans two minutes before half-time. But Morocco levelled again in first-half stoppage time as Saibari got his third of the tournament when Hakimi pulled the ball back into his path in a slick move. Placide - who spent a season at Oldham Athletic in 2017-18 - pulled off a series of saves to deny Morocco but he could do nothing about substitute Rahimi's effort which deflected off Haiti defender Ricardo Ade. Yassine then turned home after Rahimi managed to just keep the ball in play - which was confirmed by the video assistant referee - with a minute to go.

Had Canada avoided defeat to finish top of Group B, they would have stayed in Vancouver for their last-32 tie and potentially a last-16 fixture. However, a 2-1 loss at BC Place meant Canada finished second behind Switzerland and so Jesse Marsch's side will travel to Los Angeles to play South Africa on Sunday (20:00 BST). The former Leeds boss, who has guided Canada out of the group stage at a World Cup for the first time, said: "We wanted to be here in Vancouver, but we still have a massive opportunity ahead of us to find a way to push for the next match and find a way to still electrify the nation, even though it'll be from Los Angeles. "We came up a little short and that's unfortunate. But we're in the knockout round and we're going to make sure that we're up for it better." After drawing their opening game against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto, Canada thrashed Qatar 6-0 in Vancouver, where they ended the group stage with a first loss of the tournament. Striker Jonathan David told Sports Illustrated:, external "It was nice to have a pro-Canada crowd that pushed us on every game. "We're a bit disappointed and it's mixed emotions. Obviously, we wanted to stay in Vancouver, so not getting that is a blow for everyone, but we'll talk about it and get ready for the next one."

Roared on by the vast majority of the crowd in Guadalajara, Colombia missed a host of chances before Crystal Palace wing-back Munoz broke the deadlock in the 76th minute. Juan Fernando Quintero's clever pass found its way to Munoz and his left-footed shot took a touch off the defender to wrong-foot DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and sneak in at the near post. A second straight win puts Colombia top of Group K and clinches their place in the last 32, while DR Congo are third and need to beat Uzbekistan in their last group game to have any chance of progressing. Match-winner Munoz was a threat throughout and should have put Colombia ahead inside four minutes, but put his close-range shot into the side netting after Jhon Arias' shot had been parried into his path. Two minutes later, Munoz did bundle the ball into the net after his initial header was saved but, while it was very tight, he was just offside. Colombia continued were dominant during a relentless opening 20 minutes but could not find a way past Mpasi. They remained on top after half-time and Luis Diaz should have put them in front on 50 minutes, but could not find the net with just Mpasi to beat, while Arias dragged the follow-up wide. But just as it seemed it would be a night of frustration for Colombia, Quintero slid the ball into Munoz's path and he beat Mpasi. DR Congo pushed for a leveller late on but Colombia held on for a deserved victory.
