South Korea fought back from a goal down to claim a deserved 2-1 win over Group A rivals Czech Republic in the second game of the World Cup at Estadio Guadalajara.
Myung-Bo Hong's side were the better team throughout but fell behind after several misses from Heung-Min Son when Ladislav Krejci headed home Vladimir Coufal's second-half long throw.
Czech Republic's lead only lasted eight minutes, however, with In-Beom Hwang drawing South Korea level when he cut inside from Kang-In Lee's pass and clipped a deft finish inside the post.
Tomas Soucek thought he had put the Czechs back in front when he headed in from another set-piece, but the West Ham midfielder was flagged for offside before South Korea substitute Hyeon-Gyu Oh tucked home In-Beom Hwang's low cross for the winner.
The victory puts South Korea level on points with Mexico, 2-0 winners over South Africa in the opening game, in Group A and rewards an impressive team performance in which they demonstrated a high level of technical quality.
