South Korea wins a nail-biting victory against the Czech Republic.

GD&TĐ - By defeating the Czech Republic, South Korea gets off to a good start in the 2026 World Cup.

Facing South Korea in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, the Czech Republic quickly pushed forward, proactively putting pressure on their opponent's goal. Meanwhile, the Asian representatives appeared relatively cautious in the early minutes of the match.

The first chance of the match belonged to South Korea in the 12th minute. Lee Jae Sung miscontrolled the ball with his first touch after a well-placed pass into the opponent's penalty area, but Son Heung-min was there to assist, his shot deflecting off a Czech defender's leg and going out of bounds.

In the subsequent corner kick, the ball was crossed from the left wing, and South Korean center-back Lee Han-beom rose to head the ball, but it went over the crossbar of the Czech Republic's goal.

A few minutes later, the Czech goal was under threat again after Lee Kang-in unleashed a powerful left-footed shot, forcing goalkeeper Kovar to make a crucial save for his team.

It wasn't until the 22nd minute that the Czech Republic had their first dangerous opportunity of the match, stemming from a corner kick, but the European team failed to score.

In the final minutes of the first half, Son Heung-min had two consecutive excellent opportunities but failed to capitalize on them to score the opening goal for the South Korean national team.

The ball rebounded, and Lee Jae-sung pounced on the rebound, but still failed to score for the Asian team.

Despite not playing better than their opponents, the Czech Republic unexpectedly took the lead in the 59th minute with a powerful header from Ladislav Krejci.

However, just 8 minutes after conceding the goal, the South Korean team equalized 1-1 thanks to a skillful finish from Hwang In Beom.

In the 77th minute, the South Korean team's net was shaken for the second time from a set piece, but Tomas Soucek was offside before heading the ball into the net, so the goal was disallowed.

Minutes after narrowly avoiding defeat, substitute Oh Hyeon Gyu, who came on for Son Heung Min, scored against the Czech Republic, giving South Korea a 2-1 lead in the 80th minute.

Towards the end of the match, both teams had a few more opportunities, but no further goals were scored. Ultimately, South Korea defeated the Czech Republic 2-1, securing a favorable start to their 2026 World Cup campaign.
