    Korea, which started its offensive in the 13th minute of the first half with a mid-range shot by Baek Sang-hoon (Seoul), was disappointed when Hong Si-hoo’s (Incheon) right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area in the 23rd minute of the first half went into the net next to the right side of the Saudi goal.

    Saudi Arabia’s counterattack was also strong.

    Korea conceded a free kick to Saudi Arabia near the penalty arc in the 38th minute of the first half, but goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom saved Suhaib Al-Zeid’s right-footed shot with his body to overcome the crisis.

    Korea, having overcome the crisis of conceding goals, predicted victory with Uhm Seong’s goal in the 41st minute of the first half.

    When the ball from behind hit a Saudi defender, Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City) caught it and stabbed it to Hong Si-woo, who jumped to the left of the penalty area, and Hong Si-woo scored with a right-footed shot.

    After the game, Park Ji-soo said, “I think we were lacking too much, and we lost from the point of will,”

    and added, “I know Japan’s 3 points were very good,

    but it’s disappointing that we couldn’t stop them.”

    “There is no need to be nervous now, I just want to show my best performance,

    if all players do the same, wouldn’t there be good results?”

    “That player “I didn’t know much about it, but now that I know a little bit, I will play smartly,” he said.
