GolVolt Recap

South Africa snatched a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic in Group A at Atlanta Stadium. Michal Sadílek gave the Czechs a rapid lead just six minutes in. The South Africans spent the first half collecting yellow cards through Teboho Mokoena and Thalente Mbatha rather than equalising. The momentum finally shifted late. Shortly after Ladislav Krejci entered the referee's book in the 75th minute, Mokoena stepped up to bury an 83rd-minute penalty. That decisive spot-kick salvaged a crucial point in a disjointed fixture.
