A quick refresher.
In the opening game of the tournament, South Africa went down 2-0 to Mexico and had two players sent off.
Fair to say things didn’t quite go to plan for Bafana Bafana.
A few hours later, Czechia lost 2-1 to South Korea in a really entertaining match.
Czechia actually took the lead in that game through Ladislav Krejci, but were always second best in truth, with the Koreans putting in a professional, quite attractive 90 minutes of football.
So, all of this is to say, today’s fixture is approaching must win territory for both Czechia and South Africa.
