6 days agoCzechia 1 - 1 South Africa
South Africa battles back to earn a 1-1 draw against Czechia in their Group A clash in Atlanta.
Sadilek scored the earliest goal of this World Cup, finding the net inside six minutes after a brilliant link-up with Sojka.
That came shortly after Schick missed a glorious headed chance.
Czechia started the second half strong, with Schick failing to convert another headed opportunity.
That proved costly as Mokoena converted a penalty seven minutes from time after Maseko's shot hit Sulc's arm.
Czechia ended with an xG of 1.02, below South Africa's 1.37, and will be hugely disappointed not to have secured all three points.
Both sides now have one point each from two matches, while Mexico and South Korea, who play later, have three points from their one game.
