Demon Notes
- Korea deserved the win on the numbers: 2.30 xG, 15 shots and far more control after the break.
- Hwang In-Beom was the fantasy star. A goal, an assist and 13 points at under 1% ownership is the exact sort of return that changes mini-leagues early.
- Lee Kang-In did not haul, but three key passes and an assist is enough to keep him on the watchlist.
- Krejci scored from defence, but do not ignore the context: Czechia were second best for long spells.
MD2 Fantasy Takeaway
Hwang is the points chase, Lee is the role watch, and Czechia defenders need the next fixture to do a lot of heavy lifting.
