"Fear of Korea" used to be the biggest nightmare haunting the national football team, in the past a long time, both the national Olympic team and the national football team, can not beat the South Korean team.
Until the 2010 East Asian Cup, the national soccer team led by Gao Hongbo beat South Korea 3-0, ending a 32-year history. In the first round of this World Cup, the national soccer team's nemesis, South Korea, defeated Uruguay 0-0. In this round of matches against Ghana, they once again showed a respectable side.
Yes, while the story of South Korea in the 2002 World Cup was unpleasant, their performance in the World Cup was worthy of the national soccer team. Whether it was beating Germany 2-0 in the last World Cup or facing Ghana in this tournament, South Korea proved why they are better than the national soccer team.
The second round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Group h started at 21:00 GMT on November 28, with South Korea taking on Ghana. In this battle, Ghana made a fantastic start. In the 23rd minute, Salisu scored to give Ghana a 1-0 lead. Kudus scored a header in the 34th minute to give Ghana a 2-0 lead.
Two goals down, the South Korean team let people see their "blood".
Korea pulled a goal back in the 58th minute when Lee Gang-in aggressively stole the ball in front of the net and then crossed it in to assist Cho Kyu-sung's goal. Just three minutes later, Cho Kyu-sung equalized with a hammer header.
Unfortunately for South Korea, they still failed to score. Kudus scored in the 68th minute as Ghana beat South Korea 3-2 to earn their first win of the World Cup.
After the match, many domestic fans were impressed by the resilience of the South Korean team who were two goals down and said that if the national soccer team worked as hard as the South Korean team, we wouldn't have blamed them even if we had lost. What do you think (Xiong Youxuan)
