Morocco's draw with Brazil was more than an emotional performance. It was a clear underdog template: stay compact through the middle, allow some wide possession, protect the edge of the box and wait for one clean transition.

South Korea are one of the teams that can follow a similar path against Mexico. They may not control long spells of possession, but their running power and forward speed can create danger if they survive the opening pressure.

An underdog does not have to be better for the whole match. It has to be more disciplined in the decisive zones and more ruthless in the decisive moments.
