The Korean national team, led by interim coach Hwang Sun-hong, tied the match 1-1 with Thailand in the second qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North Korea-China World Cup held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Sunday. Son Heung-min took the lead in the first half, but lost a point in the second half. 사설토토

Coach Hwang Sun-hong set up a pretty aggressive lineup against Thailand. Joo Min-kyu, Jung Woo-young, and Son Heung-min aimed at the Thai net from the front, while Hwang In-beom, Baek Seung-ho, and Lee Jae-sung coordinated attacks and defenses from the waist. Four-backs were Kim Min-jae, Kim Jin-soo, Kim Young-kwon, and Seol Young-woo, and Cho Hyun-woo wore goalkeeper gloves.

Thailand did not completely fall down, but blocked Korea by playing two narrow lines. Korea deployed aggressive midfielders but struggled with tight spaces. Son Heung-min worked with Joo Min-kyu while moving back and forth from the side to the front, but could not easily catch the ball.

Kim Min-jae led Korea's rear and controlled the final defensive line. However, there was a scene where he tried to stop the Thai attack at the beginning of the first half and slipped. After that, he showed his natural presence by blocking the Thai attack with his fast feet and physicality.

If the flow did not work out in the midfield, long balls were sent to the front to deliver the balls to Son Heung-min and Joo Min-kyu. South Korea, which was gradually releasing its offense, was snatched from the side in the 41st minute of the first half. Son Heung-min showed his world class attack instinct and shook the net with an accurate shot that was lowered.

After scoring, he put his hand in his mouth and roared in front of the fans. It was the presence of the captain who opened the scoring when the Korean attack was frustrating.

He led the attack in the second half, but something unexpected happened to Korea. He failed to block the Thai attack in the 16th minute of the second half and allowed a run. He failed to block the attack by opening pocket space for Thailand, and failed to reorganize the lineup due to a quick reverse transition.

Kim Min-jae was in the scene where he lost points. Kim couldn't check the Thai striker who was rushing from behind, and had no choice but to stare blankly at the shooting scene. He also expressed regret by sending a gesture of sorry to his teammates after losing points.

Since then, Kim has competed in mid-air ball games in set pieces and other areas. He maintained his defense solidly with top-class defense, but lost points in the second half.
