Match Preview

Teboho Mokoena was the hero for South Africa in matchday two as his late penalty helped seal a point against Czechia after Michal Sadilek put them behind after just six minutes. Bafana Bafana are at the bottom of Group A heading into the final group fixture, but would secure qualification with a win here.

South Korea were unable to respond after falling behind to Luis Romo's 50th-minute strike last time out, losing 1-0 to tournament hosts Mexico at the Estadio Akron. With three points on the board and a neutral goal difference, Hong Myung-bo's side are well-placed to advance if they avoid defeat on Thursday.
