After Godiva Awakes had made its prescence known in Coventry on Saturday with drumming which could heard in many areas of the city and a fireworks display, it was back to the football at the City Of Coventry on Sunday.
At the first game declared as officially sold out and a total attendance of 30,114, Mexico beat Gabon 2-0 in a Group B game.
Half-time substitute Giovani dos Santos scored in the 63rd and 92nd minute with a penalty after Gabon were reduced to ten men when Ndong was sent off for two bookable offences.
In the second game, South Korea faced Switzerland and around 20,000 stayed.
They saw Chuyong Park fire Korea ahead in the 57th minute. Only for Innocent Imeghara to equalise for the Swiss and then Bokyung Kim to restore Korea's lead in the 64th minute for a 2-1 win.
