Commentary
FULL-TIME: SOUTH KOREA 2-1 CZECHIA
Lee Gi-hyuk charges through the side of Hlozek in a rather cynical attempt to break up play ahead of the final whistle. He doesn’t go unnoticed by the referee though, who shows the centre-back the first yellow card of the game.
KIM SUNG-GYU TO THE RESCUE! Lovely build-up play from Czechia sees Hlozek bring the ball into the 18-yard box before shifting it to his right for Chytil, whose immediate first-time ball back to the penalty spot is met by an unmarked Sadilek. With only the goalkeeper to beat, the striker looks to place his finish in the bottom corner, but the goalkeeper somehow scrambles across his line and keeps it out!
Hwang In-beom is the third player for South Korea to record a goal and an assist in a FIFA World Cup match after Choi Soon-ho against Italy in 1986 and Hong Myung-bo - who currently coaches the side - against Spain in 1994.
The fourth official indicates six minutes will be added to the end of the match for stoppages.
Hwang Hee-chan breaks into the penalty area and executes a couple of stepovers, looking for an opportunity to shoot but he’s unable to fashion an effort despite leaving Chaloupek on the ground, as Coufal comes across to help his team-mate protect Kovar.
