The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play a friendly match against Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th at 8:00 pm.
Earlier on the 24th, Colombia and Ulsan Munsu World Cup Stadium played a match. 메이저놀이터The result was a 2-2 draw. ‘Ace’ Son Heung-min took flight. First, in the 10th minute of the first half, Colombia Mojica’s pass was hit by Lee Jae-sung’s foot and refracted, heading to Son Heung-min in front of the penalty box. The goalkeeper was on his way back to the goal after passing to Mohica, and Son Heung-min shook the net with an accurate kick.
He even reported multiple goals. In the 45th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min was fouled in front of the penalty arc and got a free kick. And he himself became the kicker and exquisitely passed it between the heads of his defensive wall. The ball dripped into the corner and was sucked in.
Son Heung-min set a record through a free kick goal. Previously, Ha Seok-joo (4 goals) was tied for first place in free kick scoring, but with a goal against Colombia, he ranked first (5 goals) alone.
Son Heung-min played against Myanmar in June 2015 (2-0 win), against Chile in June 2022 (2-0 win), against Paraguay (2-2 draw), against Costa Rica in September 2022 (2-2 draw) , and scored five fantastic free kicks until the match against Colombia in March 2023 (2-2 draw).
Now, we are going to set another record through the game against Uruguay. Son Heung-min played 109 A matches (37 goals) until the match against Colombia. This equates to his ninth all-time appearance tally. If he plays against Uruguay, it will be 110 games, and he can tie with Ki Sung-yueng in 8th place.
