Mexico have all but qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup after beating South Korea 2-1 in Rostov-on-Don.

The Central American side dominated the game, with Carlos Vela converting from the spot before Javier Hernandez added a second after the break.

South Korea pulled one back through Son Heung-Min in added time but it was a case of too little too late for the side.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
