Wasn’t expecting South Korea vs Czechia to be an absolute banger, but here we are

Justice for the hoopers, South Korea! Set piece merchants Czechia in the mud! Real football is back!

Oh Hyeon-Gyu puts South Korea ahead of Czechia 2-1! Hwang In-Beom with a goal and an assist on the night 👏

South Korea got their World Cup campaign off to a winning start by beating the Czech Republic 2-1. Until the 80th-minute mark it seemed the Czechs would punish the Koreans' wastefulness, but substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the decisive goal in a far from full Guadalajara stadium u.afp.com/Sz3F

I didn't stay up to watch the South Korea - Czechia game but I did see the highlights this morning and there seemed to be thousands of empty seats. Not so apparently according to FIFA who said that the official attendance was 700 short of capacity. So FIFA is essentially gaslighting the whole world.

Woke up annoyingly early, but watching South Korea v Czechia on catch-up without knowing the score was a very good decision. #WorldCup

2/104: South Korea 2-1 Czechia Really entertaining game that could’ve gotten more goals but ultimate the Koreans were the better team even if they conceded from a throw in LOL but proper sicko goals to win the game. Fitting for a game at this time, Czech mate!

South Korea definitely deserve to win this one, just needed the slap in the face of that Czechia goal to wake up and finish some chances.

Caught up with South Korea Czechia. Great goal from Oh. The first player of the tournament where I've wondered where he's playing now. Remembered him going to Genk after Celtic, but he's at Besiktas now. There will be more moments like this 😂

I always believed in you Hwang In Beom with a great run and assist to Oh Hyeon Gyu who did well himself to knock it in
