Hwang In-beom sparks South Korea”s 2-1 comeback win over the Czech Republic at the World Cup
GUADALAJARA (MEXICO): (Jun 12) Hwang In-beom scored a goal and set up another as South Korea rallied to defeat the Czech Republic 2-1 in the second match of the 2026 World Cup on Thursday night.
After a lackluster first half in which both teams were jeered as they left the field, the Czech Republic took the lead in the 59th minute on a header by captain Ladislav Krejci after a long throw-in into the penalty area.
South Korea equalized in the 67th, when Hwang scored after faking a shot with a nifty move to clear two Czech players. He then made the cross from the right flank for Oh Hyeon-gyu’s decisive strike in the 80th in a match played in front of hundreds of empty seats at Guadalajara Stadium.
