On the afternoon of July 30, the Korean women's team will face Morocco in the second match of Group H of the 2023 World Cup.
The Korean women's team had many difficulties against Morocco's pressing style of play.
Right from the start of the match, the Korean women's team played with determination with the goal of winning 3 points to keep their hope of moving on.
But while struggling to find a way into the opponent's goal, the red team conceded a goal.
In the 6th minute, Hanane Ait El Haj crossed the ball accurately from the right wing for Ibtissam Jraidi to jump up and head the ball into the net of the Korean women's team.
Conceding an unexpected goal, the Asian team began to push up their formation to attack.
In the 20th minute, after a bad shot from her teammate, the ball suddenly came to Son Hwayeon's feet but unfortunately her shot went wide.
Meanwhile, the Moroccan women's team proactively played slowly to reduce the opponent's excitement and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 29th minute, Salma Amani dribbled past a red-shirted defender and then fired a close-range shot that went over the bar.
During the rest of the first half, the pace of the match was quite slow and neither side scored any more goals.
In the second half, the Korean women's team had a bit more possession of the ball, but the best chances belonged to Morocco.
In the 55th minute, after goalkeeper Jung Mi Kim missed a punch, center back Nouhaila Benzina rushed in and fired a close-range shot that went over the crossbar.
Meanwhile, the Korean women's team, despite attacking a lot, could hardly penetrate the disciplined defense of their opponents.
In the 87th minute, Korean player number 19 had a chance to shoot without being marked by anyone, but the ball went too far out of his foot.
In the end, the Korean women's team lost 0-1 to Morocco and almost lost hope of reaching the round of 16.
