2023 - 54: Saudi Arabia v Mexico

Live coverage of the last round of fixtures in Group C as Saudi Arabia take on Mexico at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

The Saudis beat Egypt in their final group game of 2018 but failed to reach the knockout stage having lost their first two matches. Frenchman Herve Renard has since been brought in as head coach, and he's reinvigorated the Green Falcons.

Mexico have endured a turbulent build-up to this tournament, with their manager ‘Tata' Martino facing relentless criticism from both the fans and the national press, but a lot will be forgiven if he can guide El Tri to the quarter-finals after seven successive exits at the round of 16.
