Saudi Arabia have the chance to end their 28-year absence from the World Cup knockout stage by beating Mexico as the curtain comes down on Group C in Qatar.
A 2-1 victory over Argentina in the opening round of fixtures set Herve Renard's men off to a flyer, but they were pegged back by a 2-0 defeat to Poland on Saturday.
Standing in Saudi Arabia's path are Mexico, who are teetering on the brink of a first group stage exit since 1978.
Mexico need to beat Saudi Arabia and hope Poland get a result against Argentina if they are to progress, but Gerardo Martino's side have yet to score a goal at the 2022 World Cup.
Here's how to watch the action unfold in the World Cup Group C finale.
