FT 🇰🇷 2-0 🇵🇾
More than the win itself, the real takeaway here is that Korea weathered the storm with a heavily experimental setup in the last 30 minutes, without Sonny and Inbeom, whilst Minjae was limited to a support role at the back, and even found a way to extend their lead.

‼️ Oh Hyeon-gyu and Lee Kang-in partnership is a key project for Hong Myung-bo’s staff. They’ve been either starting together or both coming on in the second half when there’s more space in behind to attack in transition, and they’ve created big goals against Mexico and Paraguay.

🇵🇾🇯🇵🇰🇷 Paraguay boss Gustavo Alfaro after 2-2 draw with Japan and 2-0 loss to Korea: "Korea use their wing-backs more. Whereas Japan play more progressively in triangles, Korea generally attack from wing to centre. In midfield defensively, Korea are more solid as a unit."

🧐 Jens Castrop’s average position (17) and heatmap for Gladbach today at Leverkusen. Considering the tendencies he showed in two games for Korea and again here, I’m under the impression that he’s more of a vertical player than a positional defensive midfielder.

📖 Nice rundown of Korea’s performance against Oman by my colleague Kevin Kim. It was the lack of involvement by both central midfielders that made Korea so uninspiring. I’m fine with using Lee Jae-sung to attack the box, but in this game, he should’ve played deeper.
