World Cup 2026: Korea and Czechia Share Goalless First Half
South Korea and Czechia played out a tense, goalless first half in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup Group A fixture at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara.
Son Heung-min’s side controlled much of the possession but struggled to break down a well-organised and physically imposing Czech defence. Both teams showed cautious approaches typical of tournament openers, with few clear-cut chances created as the match remained finely balanced at the interval.
A tactical battle is expected in the second half as both sides look to claim three vital points in their World Cup campaign.
