Match description

Czech Republic lost 1:2 to South Korea but did not look like a broken team. South Africa, after 0:2 to Mexico, has a bigger issue — aside from the defeat there were red cards and subsequent weakening for the next match. This is a game where Czech Republic must respond and they have the better footballing profile to do so. Status: BET
