South Korea recorded a stellar 2-1 comeback win over Czechia in Guadalajara, with all three goals coming in the second half.

Ladislav Krejci opened the scoring for Czechia in the 59th minute, but Hwang In-beom and Oh Hyeon-gyu found the net in the 67th and 80th minutes respectively.

The South Koreans maintained possession and created more clear cut chances in the first half, but failed to test opposition goalkeeper Matej Kovar.

However, the match came to life in the second half, with South Korea employing a high defensive line to control proceedings and set an offside trap.

Czechia struggled to defend against the quick interplay between South Korea's wingers and wingbacks, and were eventually punished for their mistakes.

South Korea's dominance in possession and chance creation limited Czechia to just a handful of set-pieces, and they were ultimately rewarded for their attacking style.
