Mexico's players lift up goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa after winning the World Cup Group A match against the Czech Republic in Mexico City on June 24, 2026. (AFP) If Wednesday's World Cup match marked the last time Guillermo Ochoa appears in Mexico colours, the 40-year-old goalkeeper could not have wished for a better send-off.Brought on for the last 12 minutes with his team 2-0 up against the Czech Republic and cruising into the knockout phase as Group A winners, Ochoa lapped up the acclaim of fans at the Azteca stadium, the venue where he made his senior debut with Club America in 2004.Making his sixth and final appearance at the World Cup, Ochoa maintained the clean sheet began by Raul Rangel as Mexico scored again late on to finish 3-0 winners.Mexico will play at the Azteca in the round of 32 but barring a goalkeeping emergency he is unlikely to get on the pitch.The veteran keeper, instantly recognisable by his curls, was content with his role. "My first game, Azteca. My last game, Azteca. It's been a beautiful final chapter of my career," he told Mexican TV."Thank you, everyone."Roared on by a crowd dressed in green, white and red, Mexico did not overwhelm the Czechs but were worthy winners thanks to goals from Mateo Chavez, Julian Quinones and Alvaro Fidalgo.The whole venue saluted Ochoa at the final whistle, a proper show of respect for a player whose flying saves and one-man acts of defiance became part of Mexican footballing folklore."He's an example for all of us. He's the first one in the gym and the last one to leave," Chavez said of Ochoa."This is the icing on the cake of a great career. He's an idol for us, he's helped guide the group with his experience, and I'm very happy for him."For supporters, everything has followed the ideal script: a home World Cup, a perfect group run, and a legend walking off with the chants of his name ringing in his ears.They are already daring to talk about the prospect of a long-awaited return to the World Cup quarter-finals.Mexico have only reached that stage twice - in 1970 and 1986. When they were hosts. Related Story

South Africa coach Hugo Broos said his team had shut up the "big mouths" after the Bafana Bafana qualified for the World Cup knockouts for the first time in their history by beating South Korea 1-0 on Wednesday.The African team, playing in the tournament for the fourth time, finished second in Group A behind co-hosts Mexico, who had a perfect record of three wins out of three.South Africa, who last featured at the World Cup when they hosted it in 2010, were widely written off after their 2-0 loss to Mexico in their opening match.But they battled to a draw against the Czech Republic and came out on top in what was effectively a shootout for second place in Monterrey, thanks to Thapelo Maseko's second-half strike."I'm very proud of the performance of my team and I think we gave an answer to all those big mouths of the last weeks that thought that we had to change something," said a defiant Broos."We just did what we did. We just did what I wanted to do and this is the result."The 74-year-old, who has been at the helm since 2021, said reaching the second round was an emotional moment for South Africa."I said it already in the past that probably it will be one of the last games of my career and when you can end a career like I had in this way, I think everybody or every coach dreams of it."The Belgian said he had always believed in his players despite harsh criticism aimed at them."Between me as a coach and them as players is yes, maybe something unique - I'm the coach, but I'm not a coach," he said."I think I'm a friend of theirs. So the relationship between the players and me, this is very good."South Africa will face Canada, one of the tournament co-hosts, in Los Angeles on Sunday, with a place in the last 16 up for grabs."I just know that the players will be ready again and try to achieve the third round," said Broos. "It should be even more historic. But those players are chasing those things. Those players want to prove to everyone and to show that they are a good team. So we will see next Sunday if we can go further." Related Story

Morocco twice overcame the shock of conceding to Haiti to win a World Cup thriller 4-2 in Atlanta on Wednesday, but missed out on top spot in Group C to Brazil.Haiti bowed out with their first World Cup goals for 52 years as a Yassine Bounou own goal and Wilson Isidor’s stunning strike twice gave them the lead.Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari, with his third goal in as many games at the World Cup, levelled before half-time.Soufiane Rahimi was nearly brought to tears when the 30-year-old's deflected effort found the top corner to give Morocco the lead before Gessime Yassine rounded off the scoring.But by finishing second to Brazil on goal difference, Morocco will head to Monterrey for a likely meeting against the Netherlands or Japan in the last 32 on Monday.Despite bowing out without a point, Haiti's performances at a first World Cup since 1974 have done a nation gripped by poverty proud.Les Grenadiers were already eliminated after losing to Scotland and Brazil, but the thousands of Haitian expats in the stands at Atlanta were undeterred as every attack was met with deafening cheers."Today we scored two goals, we are really proud of it, the emotions were big, but it is still really frustrating because we didn't get a point," said Sunderland striker Isidor."With the generation we have I am confident we are going to be here again to win Haiti's first point in a World Cup."Haiti's long wait for a goal on the global stage was ended after just 10 minutes when Jean-Kevin Duverne got to the by-line and Lenny Joseph flicked his cross into the net via a deflection off Bounou.Hakimi has continued to captain Morocco despite learning mid-tournament that he is to face a trial on rape charges in France.But the reigning African footballer of the year said he was still in a good place "personally and professionally" after helping Paris Saint-Germain to a second consecutive Champions League title and his country into the knockout stages of the World Cup."I am in a very good moment, personally and professionally," said Hakimi, who won man-of-the-match."I feel very good, I have good people around me that help me concentrate on the most important thing and the truth is it is one of the most important moments of my career. I hope to continue like this for as long as possible."Hakimi equalised when he was left with the simple task of forcing the ball over the line after Johny Placide could only parry Bilal El Khannouss' strike.Within four minutes, though, Haiti had restored their lead in far more spectacular fashion.Isidor pounced on a loose ball and let fly from outside the area with a shot that arrowed into the top corner.Hakimi and coach Mohamed Ouahbi were visibly angered by conceding for a second time, but the 2022 World Cup semi-finalists responded before half-time.Saibari stroked home his third goal of the tournament with a cool finish from Hakimi's low cross.With Brazil cruising to victory over Scotland in Miami, Morocco knew only a comprehensive victory would secure them top spot in Group C.Ouahbi began turning his attention to the last 32 as Bayern Munich-bound Saibari and Real Madrid's Diaz were replaced with over 20 minutes remaining.But two of his substitutes came on to win the game for Morocco. Rahimi's powerful strike from a corner flew into the top corner via a deflection off a desperate Haiti defender.He then turned provider by robbing possession on the Haiti by-line and crossing for Yassine to roll into an empty net.
