South Korea's Oh Hyeon-gyu celebrates by sprinting to the corner after scoring the go-ahead winning goal in the second half against the Czech Republic in their Group A opener at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held at Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Guadalajara, Mexico, on Thursday Korea time.
Oh, who served as a "training partner" helping his seniors at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, returned four years later as a full-fledged player and scored his debut goal in his first match.
With this goal, South Korea defeated the Czech Republic 2-1, claiming its first World Cup opening-match victory in 16 years since the 2010 South Africa tournament. (News1)
