Hyeon-gyu Oh

South Korea come from behind to beat the Czech Republic in Guadalajara — thanks in no small part to Hwang In-beom. The Feyenoord midfielder's composed effort cancelled out Ladislav Krejci's opener. His delivery for Oh Hyeon-gyu helped his country to victory in their 2026 World Cup opener. The Czech Republic scored their first World Cup goal since 2006 but their wait for a victory continues.

Moments after Tomas Soucek's header was disallowed for the Czech Republic, South Korea have taken the lead. Hwang In-beom turns provider as Oh Hyeon-gyu, who replaced Son Heung-min after 69 minutes, finished from close range.
