World Cup 2018: 5 best and worst players as Mexico beat South Korea

#3 Best - Carlos Salcedo

Salcedo's display was an impressive, if not under-the-radar performance during Mexico's 2-1 victory. Naturally, critics do not tend to talk about defenders unless they make a significant mistake - so the 24-year-old will be happy not to have been mentioned on that front.

However, his no-nonsense style granted him plenty of success during dangerous moments where Korea appeared threatening.

Two tackles, one interception, four clearances and a whopping six blocked shots. It was a busy afternoon's work for the centre-back, who impressed on-loan at Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt from Guadalajara and is expected to sign on a permanent deal after this tournament.
