On the 25th at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, Korea scored two goals in the first half and one goal in the second half in the match between Japan and Japan, losing 3-0 to Japan.
It was a shameful defeat. It was an incomprehensible result even though Son Heung-min, the core of Korean football, was missing, and even if a large number of overseas members were absent. In a word, it was a wonder that Japan did well and Korea did not.
On this day, Korea gave the opening goal to Miki Yamane in 15 minutes of the first half. Yamane made a shot as the defending line to the right of the box pierced the ball from Osako.
In the 26th minute of the first half, 11 minutes after the Korean national team was shaken, Korea allowed an additional goal for Daiichi Kamada. After a counterattack on the left side of the opponent, the defensive line collapsed, and Daichi Kamada beat the Korean defense from the right side of the penalty box and shook the net by hitting a shot.
The Korean national team, which quickly became 2-0, ended the first half after experiencing a concession crisis several times.
Even in the second half, Japan shook Korea’s goal. At the start of the second half, Kim Seung-gyu, who was replaced, continued to save and endure. But in the end, he scored an additional goal in the second half of the 37th minute. In a corner kick situation, Wataru Endo scored an extra goal with a header without disturbing the defense. Korea’s effective shooting came in the 39th minute of the second half. Lee Dong-jun’s right footed shot was the first and last valid shot in the game.
In an interview held after the game, the Korean national soccer coach Bento frankly admitted to the complete defeat of Korea and Japan, saying, “There is no excuse.”
