About this match

South Korea carries the magic of 2002, when Park Ji-sung and company reached the semifinals at home, and Czechia brings the legacy of Czechoslovakia, World Cup runners-up in 1934 and 1962. At Euro 2004, the Czechs dazzled with Nedvěd, Čech, and Rosický before falling in the semifinal to Greece's silver goal. Two nations returning to the biggest stage after long absences — the Czechs since 2006, the Koreans seeking to revive the energy of Seoul.
