An extremely superior Mexico prevailed against South Korea in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The Mexican team did not start in the best way, but after opening therivals goal, they took advantage of every opportunity to score. Not only did they prevail but also crushed their rival, despite the fact that they never lowered their arms and Mexico thrashed the Orientals 6-3.

The Mexican team got their ticket to the medal zone. From his harangue at the end of the match against South Africa, Guillermo Ochoa warned: Mexico needed another performance similar in quality, and they got it. Now the rival will be Brazil, next Tuesday at 3:00, hour in the US.

The Mexican National Team is considered one of the greatest powers of the Concacaf, if not the best, but that nickname has little served it to shine internationally. Beyond the Gold Cup, "El Tri" has few trophies to show off, especially because throughout history there have been great litters and footballers. 

Of the 11 participations of the Mexican National Team, only in one was the gold medal achieved. In the vast majority they stayed in the group stage, but there were also occasions where they reached the quarterfinals and even a semifinal. This happened in London 2012, when he managed to stay with the first place after beating Brazil in the final. And it so happens that 9 years later, he will be the same rival that he will have to face to win a new Olympic medal.
