The result keeps both teams' hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive

The Czech Republic made five changes to their lineup for the match in Atlanta and quickly justified those decisions. 

They took the lead in just the sixth minute, setting the record for the fastest goal of this World Cup.

Midfielder Michal Sadílek found the back of the net to put the Europeans ahead. 

South Africa missed a golden opportunity to equalize before halftime but eventually found their breakthrough in the 83rd minute. 

Teboho Mokoena converted from the penalty spot to secure a valuable point for the African side.
