South Korea 2-1 Czech Republic: FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Report, Highlights and Key Moments South Korea began their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign in impressive fashion, coming from behind to defeat the Czech Republic 2-1 in their opening Group A match. Played at a packed stadium in Zapopan, Mexico, Hong Myung-bo’s side showed resilience and determination after conceding the opening goal. Second-half strikes from Hwang In-Beom and Oh Hyeon-Gyu secured all three points and gave South Korea the perfect start to the tournament.

The breakthrough came for the Czech Republic in the 59th minute when Krejci finished a move assisted by Coufal, giving the Europeans a 1-0 lead. Rather than panic, South Korea responded positively.

Just eight minutes after conceding, Lee Kang-in delivered a precise pass into the penalty area, allowing Hwang In-beom to score the equalizer in the 67th minute. The match then swung dramatically in South Korea’s favor. In the 78th minute, the Czech Republic thought they had restored their lead, but a VAR review ruled the goal out. Only two minutes later, South Korea capitalized. Hwang In-beom turned provider, setting up substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu, who calmly finished to complete the comeback and put South Korea ahead 2-1. The Korean defense held firm during six minutes of stoppage time, securing a valuable victory and three crucial points.
