The Korean team had only a short 76-hour break after the fierce battle with the Portuguese powerhouse, and the situation was worrisome. The Brazilian Lions, on the other hand, were able to recuperate in the third round of the group stage, with a core of nine players in good form, and showed unstoppable momentum at the beginning of the tournament.
However, the magical journey to Doha came to a halt in the round of 16 as the South Korean shockers suffered their second defeat in history. Superstars like Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), Vinicius (Real Madrid) and Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur) were too much to handle against the world's most stout defense.
South Korea has so far failed to break the spell against South American teams. According to statistics, the two teams met with 2 draws and 5 losses, the Korean team scored a total of 4 goals and 14 shots on goal, but failed to beat the South American opponent.
The article also mentions Son, the representative of Asian soccer. Although he himself thinks he underperformed, his performance was good enough. He does not need to blame himself. In this game, he also attempted a shot on goal. As a player playing with an injury, he has done his best.
