Two of Korea's opponents in the group stage at the FIFA World Cup have both won their final tuneup matches.
Czechia, whom Korea will face to begin Group A action next week, defeated Guatemala 3-1 at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, on Thursday (local time).
Patrik Schick, Tomas Chory and Denis Visinsky were the goal scorers for Czechia, who sit 16 spots below Korea in the FIFA rankings at No. 41.
Czechia had earlier beat Kosovo 2-1 on Sunday.
