Mexico took the match, one to nil over Korea, though it was less a thing they won than one Korea handed them. The keeper, Kim Seung-gyu, lost the ball cleanly in hand, and Luis Romo was where a striker is supposed to be when fortune slips. A goal is a goal in the standings, but there’s a particular discomfort in owing it to another man’s worst moment. We will take the three points and hope the next ones are made by our own feet.
