Score game-winning goal
Romo recorded one goal on one shot to go along with one chance created in Thursday's 1-0 win over South Korea.
Analysis: Romo would be the first hero of the match for Mexico on Thursday, as the midfielder would capitalize on a mistake by the South Korean keeper, kicking the ball into the back of the net in the 50th minute for a goal and the game-winner. This was a major moment for the team, as it secured their spot on top of the group. This is a great result for the midfielder after an absence from their opener, hoping this earns him more time in future games.
Leaving for international duty
Romo won't take part in the Clausura postseason after being considered in the Mexican squad that will work ahead of the World Cup, the national team announced Tuesday.
Analysis: Romo was a doubt in coach Javier Aguirre's roster for the international tournament as he had just recovered from a muscular injury, but he ended up making four full-match appearances for his club in April and regaining enough form to be in contention. He has played in both center-back and midfield roles this year, and both Diego Campillo and Omar Govea are expected to cover those spots while he's ineligible for Guadalajara. Romo is unlikely to start for the national team but should be reliable for his experience and versatility whenever he's on the field.
