South Korea faces a challenge from its host nation, Mexico. |
The match between South Korea and Mexico started at a high pace as the Asian representatives proactively pushed forward to play an attacking game. However, the immense pressure from tens of thousands of home fans made it difficult for the South Korean players to implement their playing style.
In the 4th minute, Lee Kang-in received a yellow card after a fierce tackle. Meanwhile, Son Heung-min was almost isolated in attack and had very few opportunities to touch the ball. In the 16th minute, the South Korean star chipped the ball skillfully over the Mexican goalkeeper, but the opposing defender managed to block it right on the goal line. However, Son was also offside beforehand.
The following day, Quinones made a precise header after cutting across the goal, but it wasn't powerful enough to beat the Mexican goalkeeper.
