World Cup 2026: Czechia and Mexico level at half-time (0-0)
Czechia and Mexico are level 0-0 at half-time in their 2026 World Cup match, despite Czechia enjoying more possession and all four shots of the first half.
Czechia – Mexico has reached half-time at the 2026 World Cup, with Czechia and Mexico level at 0-0.
The numbers, however, point to a more nuanced first half. Czechia had more of the ball with 55% possession and tried their luck more often, with 4 shots to Mexico’s 0. In the decisive area, the shots-on-target tally is 0 for Czechia and 0 for Mexico. The xG figures remain close, with 0.15 for Czechia and 0.00 for Mexico.
The key moments of the first half
27' It’s Denis Višinský again! A beautiful pirouette in the box opens a tiny shooting window, but his effort is deflected. He’s been the best player on the field so far for Czechia
14' Denis Višinský has a go from long range, but it sails high and wide. Czechia looking lively to start, feels like a goal could easily be coming if they keep this up… Reader Justin
8' An early chance for Czechia! A deflected ball falls kindly for Denis Višinský, but his attempt on goal rolls agonizingly wide
2' Mexico is wearing white tonight. They never look quite right to me when they’re wearing any color other than green at home. But I understand why they’re doing it – Czechia is wearing red, and red/green color blindness is a thing to account for
A still fragile balance
Czechia and Mexico head back level, but the second half remains wide open. The first change of pace, a defensive error or a set piece could quickly alter the course of the match.
