At 21:00 GMT on November 28, a compelling match was staged in the second round of the World Cup group stage in Group H. The South Korean men's soccer team took on Ghana, the weakest team in the group. South Korea is ranked 28th in the world rankings, while Ghana's men's soccer team is ranked 60th in the world rankings.Based on the world rankings alone, South Korea should win against Ghana.
However, the ideal is fulfilling but the reality is small. In the first half, Salisu opened the first record for Ghana by breaking the deadlock amidst the chaos; then Kudus extended the lead with a header. Ghana took a 2-0 lead.
In the second half, Ziggy bravely parried a header from Cho Kyu-sung. Cho Kyu-sung got two goals back for South Korea with two headers in three minutes. But then Kudus shot through for two goals and Ghana went over again. In the end, South Korea lost 2-3 to Ghana, suffering a two-game unbeaten streak in this World Cup. Thus, after two wars, South Korea accumulated only one point and the prospect of advancing became very slim.
In this battle, a player who is of great interest to Chinese fans did not have a chance to play. He sat on the bench and was ignored by South Korean coach Paulo Bento. He wasn't called upon from start to finish, and was a complete bystander to the boredom of the Korean team tonight. This man is no other than Son Junho, the midfield ace who is currently working for Shandong Luneng Taishan in the Chinese Super League.
Sun Junho has been called up by the Korean Football Association for this year's World Cup, becoming the second player from the Chinese Super League to export to the World Cup. The other player is Cameroon international Basogo, who is currently playing for Shanghai Shenhua. At a crucial moment in the title race, South Korea shifted their ace player, which is a huge loss for Shandong Luneng and may even affect Luneng's title race this season.
Originally, it was thought that since the Korean Football Association had drafted Son Jungho.
