Prague:
Czech Republic's preparations for the Euro 2016 suffered a setback with a 2-1 defeat against South Korea in the final warmup match on Sunday.
The Czechs were reduced to 10 men half an hour from time after defender Theodor Gebre Selassie received his second yellow card.
Yoon Bit-garam netted the opening goal in the 26th minute with a perfectly executed free kick and Suk Hyun-jun doubled the lead on a quick counter-attack in the 40th.
Substitute Marek Suchy reduced the deficit with a drive from 35 meters that was deflected by a defender into the net just seconds into the second half.
At Euro 2016, the Czechs open against defending champion Spain on June 13. Croatia and Turkey are also in Group D.
Spain routed South Korea 6-1 Wednesday.
