Is there a favourite? First Copa do Brasil knockout tie is set

The conclusion of another group on Wednesday night (24) set up the first knockout clash of this year’s FIFA World Cup.

South Africa finished second in Group A and will face Canada, the runner-up in Group B, for a place in the round of 16.

The match is scheduled for next Sunday (28) in Los Angeles and will be the first game of the round of 32 in the tournament.

The other teams already through to the knockout stage are still waiting to find out their opponents.

Group A decided

In the final round of Group A, Mexico maintained its perfect record: three matches and three wins.

The hosts came into Wednesday’s match with top spot already secured and beat Czechia 3-0, with their opponents still fighting for a place.

The most dramatic match, however, was between South Africa and South Korea.

The African side won and secured a place in the knockout stage of a World Cup for the first time in its history.

The Koreans finished the group in third place and are now waiting for the remaining groups to be decided to find out whether they will advance.
