South Korea get off to winning start after rallying from goal down to beat Czechia

South Korea came back from a goal down to snatch a thrilling 2-1 win over Czechia in their World Cup Group A opener, substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu grabbing the winner in the 80th minute.

Korea captain Son Heung-min wasted a number of decent chances before his Czech counterpart Ladislav Krejci broke the deadlock against the run of play in the 59th minute by heading home from a long throw-in, but the lead was short-lived as Hwang In-beom kept his cool to dink the equaliser over the keeper eight minutes later.
