Moscow: The Mexican national football team performed a training session Tuesday under rainy skies on the outskirts of the Russian capital Moscow, in preparation for their upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup match against South Korea.

El Tri are fresh off their stunning 1-0 victory on Sunday against defending champion Germany, and are looking to stay in top form ahead of their June 23 match against a South Korean team eager to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to Sweden on Monday.

Tuesday's training, led by coach Juan Carlos Osorio, was focused on ball exercises and included forward Hirving "Chucky" Lozano, who scored the winner against Germany.

Mexico's national squad is to train again Wednesday before traveling to the town of Rostov the following day.

Mexico and Sweden are tied for the top spot in Group F with three points each, while South Korea and Germany have zero points.
