South Africa battles back to earn a 1-1 draw against Czechia in their Group A clash in Atlanta.

Sadilek scored the earliest goal of this World Cup, finding the net inside six minutes after a brilliant link-up with Sojka.

That came shortly after Schick missed a glorious headed chance.

Czechia started the second half strong, with Schick failing to convert another headed opportunity.

That proved costly as Mokoena converted a penalty seven minutes from time after Maseko's shot hit Sulc's arm.

Czechia ended with an xG of 1.02, below South Africa's 1.37, and will be hugely disappointed not to have secured all three points.

Both sides now have one point each from two matches, while Mexico and South Korea, who play later, have three points from their one game.

Full-Time

FULL-TIME!

Czechia and South Africa finish 1-1 at Atlanta Stadium in this FIFA World Cup match.

Modiba's shot deflects off a Czechia player and could go anywhere, but it thankfully goes behind for a corner.

South Africa takes the set-piece short, a bad decision.

LATE OPENING!

Makgopa holds off his defender and gets a chance to bend one from 18 yards, but the shot lacks quality and is an easy save for Kovar.

Sulc finds acres of space on the left and whips in a cross, but it's just out of Schick's reach.

Provod then scuffs a shot from outside the box, sending it off target.

South Africa nearly shoots itself in the foot, losing possession.

Czechia misses the first counter opportunity but seizes the next, though the ball is cut out before a shot can be created.

A Czechia free kick into the box is cleared, and then the offside flag goes up against Soucek.

Five minutes left to play.

Seven minutes of stoppage time have been added at Atlanta Stadium.

Plenty of time for some late drama!

SAVE!

Mofokeng fires a decent shot from 20 yards, but Kovar gets across to his right to make the stop.

That second hydration break has been a turning point!

South Africa is now pushing hard for a winner.

Czechia, meanwhile, hasn't been able to build on their early opener.

South Africa has converted all three of their World Cup penalties, with each one being an equalizer.

They also converted against Saudi Arabia in 1998 and Paraguay in 2002.
