Lee Kang-in continues to have excellent performances. |
For the Korean team, this was not just a simple victory - but also a strong affirmation after the 0-5 defeat against Brazil a few days earlier.
The match on the evening of October 14th took place in a tense atmosphere. Paraguay, the team that had caused many difficulties for Japan during their tour in Tokyo on October 11th, continued to show a tough and well-organized style of play. However, it was Korea who took the initiative. After the painful fall at home, they entered the field with a determination to take revenge and a fierce fighting spirit.
Eom's opening goal in the 15th minute helped Hong Myung-bo's team relieve pressure and regain their familiar rhythm. But the biggest highlight of the match came in the second half, from the delicate left foot of Lee Kang-in - although not a starter, still the creative soul when on the field.
In the 75th minute, the PSG star sent a beautiful long pass that tore through the Paraguayan defense, leaving Oh Hyeon-gyu one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The Celtic striker coolly dribbled past the goalkeeper and finished into an empty net, sealing a 2-0 win. The assist – both exquisite and with rare vision – immediately became a hot topic in the Korean media.
In the remaining time, Paraguay pressed forward to find an equalizer but encountered a disciplined Korean defense, where goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu played solidly and made many saves.
The victory over Paraguay not only helped South Korea shake off the trauma of their loss to Brazil, but also showed the mettle of a great team that knows how to stand up at the right time. With their form restored and Lee Kang-in's return to form, the Korean team continues to prove that they are still the leading flag of Asian football.
