There were 4 red cards in total at the last World Cup. 3 already in the opening match.

That’s amazing! Surely the 4 red cards from 2022 will be passed by the end of the Group Stages.

Krejčí scores for Czechia thanks to the long throw from Coufal!

Hwang Inbeom equalizes for South Korea!

Souček scored, but it's an offside.

Oh Hyeon-gyu, replacing Son, completes the comeback for Korea!

Well done to South Korea!

That was an enjoyable match. I thought the Czechs were going to nick a draw.

Well done South Korea!

Just watched the highlights now - South Korea looked like they absolutely dominated the match but let a few chances get past them which the Czechs really took advantage of. Could easily have ended as a draw!

The Mexico red card was the only one I thought should have been a red.

Whereas I thought that was the only one that shouldn't have been red

No way was that a DOGSO challenge, plenty of covering defenders. Definite yellow for me.

It'll be passed by tonight at this rate!

Bit of an implosive performance from SA there but Mexico were good value for their win.

Just watched he highlights of SK vs Czechia, definitely SK deserved the win but they were very wasteful especially in the first half and it looked obvious that Czechia would score from their first big chance. But fair play SK kept chipping away and got it done.

Goal by Michal Sadilek - Czech Republic has lots of space so far and they take advantage from it and score early.

South Africa's Teboho Mokoena is suspended for the next match after picking up a 2nd yellow card of the tournament. He might as well get on a plane out of North America tonight because South Africa won't play again in this tournament after the next match.

Krejçi booked for Czech Republic.

Penalty to South Africa for handball.

An well converted penalty from Mokoena, 1-1.

This coulda been Ireland playing South Africa this evening, sure we woulda gave a better account of ourselves, both teams are just hard to push off when ahead of them

Seven minutes of added time for either Czech Republic or South Africa to find a winner.

Czech Republic looked great for about 5 minutes. Shocking after that.

South Africa were really poor too. Missed opportunity for both sides.

Schick is having a Lukaku 2022 tournament so far!
