Mexico can finish 1st (group winner) in 42% of scenarios — a realistic but far from certain outcome. This is the most likely finish, but 2nd place (30.4%) is also a strong possibility.
Mexico must beat South Korea in almost all winning paths. However, one remarkable scenario exists: Mexico can even finish 1st by losing to South Korea if South Africa beats Czech Republic and South Africa beats South Korea, and then Mexico beats Czech Republic (regardless of goal difference).
If Mexico draws with South Korea, qualification as 1st is possible but requires Mexico to beat Czech Republic (usually by a narrow margin) and Czech Republic to perform well against South Africa or South Korea.
The core requirement across almost all paths: strong performance in the final match against Czech Republic. Whether a draw or a loss to South Korea can lead to 1st place depends entirely on how the other teams finish and Mexico's goal difference in the final game.
