A late penalty from Teboho Mokoena secured South Africa a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic football in Atalanta, which keeps alive both sides’ hopes of qualification from Group A at World Cup 2026.
After Patrik Schick headed an early chance wide at the far post, the Czechs – showing five changes from the 2-1 defeat to South Korea, including West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek dropped to the bench – took the lead in the sixth minute.
