Korea (3:1 ) in Lyon .

Hernandez and company left it late to qualify from this group and can
thank South Korea for sending a life boat to the Bay of Mexico.
When the Koreans equalized in the 71st minute against Belgium, it was
like a psychological goal for Mexico who then clawed back a two goal deficit to draw with
Holland. For almost an hour they were not in the tournament, let alone the game.
