2026 World Cup: the overnight round-up
Every morning, OneFootball will bring you a full recap of the night at the World Cup. Here’s the first one!
The night’s must-see
Only one match took place last night. South Korea beat the Czech Republic 2-1 after conceding the opener on the hour mark.
Three second-half goals, a first dramatic comeback scenario, but above all a first standout individual performance!
With an assist and the opening goal, Hwang In-Beom was logically named MVP of the match.
The South Korean Feyenoord midfielder thus delivered the first masterclass of this World Cup and goes top of the tournament’s scoring charts (goal + assist).

We should also highlight the excellent game from South Korean goalkeeper Seung-Gyu Kim, who made two fantastic saves late on.
