Wolves' Ladislav Krejci named man of the match in Czech Republic World Cup draw
The Czech Republic were held by South Africa.
Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci won the man of the match award in the Czech Republic’s latest World Cup game.
Krejci was named the star player as the Czech Republic were held by South Africa at the Atlanta Stadium.
Michal Sadilek put the Czechs in front after just five minutes. South Africa were then awarded a late penalty in the 83rd minute after a Pavel Sulc handball, which Teboho Mokoena converted.
It means both sides are on one point in Group A, with everything to play for in the final game of the group stage. Both will need to win their final matches to progress to the knockout stage.
Krejci’s man of the match award comes after he scored in the Czech Republic’s opening game of the World Cup against South Korea.
The 27-year-old joined Wolves on loan last summer from Girona. Wolves triggered an option to buy for around £26m, with his move becoming permanent after the initial loan spell.
Reports have also linked the defender with potential moves to Leeds United and Besiktas this summer.
