   🇨🇿Czech Republic 1–2 🇰🇷South Korea

   For eight minutes the Czech Republic led a match they had spent the night defending, and that is the cruelty of this one. Ladislav Krejci's strike from Coufal arrived against the run of play, an expected-goals column reading 0.8 to 2.3 the honest measure of the pressure they were under. South Korea's two goals in thirteen second-half minutes were the reckoning. Their goalkeeper made four saves and very nearly stole it. Ahead with half an hour left and beaten anyway. That is the margin they will replay.

   🇨🇿Czech Republic 1–1 🇿🇦South Africa

   For six minutes the plan worked perfectly; for the rest it was a rearguard. Sadilek struck early, Sojka with the pass, and the Czech Republic dug in to protect their lead. They held it bravely — until Mokoena stepped to the spot in the 83rd minute and levelled it. South Africa had the ball and the better of the expected goals, 1.18 to 0.94, while the Czechs made do with thirty-nine percent of possession. To lead, to suffer, and still leave with a point is its own kind of result.

   🇨🇿Czech Republic 0–3 🇲🇽Mexico

   The Czech Republic will look at thirteen shots and fifty-two percent of the ball and wonder how they left the Azteca beaten by three. The expected-goals line answers it without mercy: 0.47, a whole afternoon of half-chances and hopeful efforts a serious defence was never going to fear. Mexico, by contrast, needed only their moments, and took them after the break. This was a lesson in the difference between activity and threat. The Czechs were busy; they were rarely dangerous, and at this level that is the only thing the scoreboard hears.
