The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is playing the fourth Group B match against Iraq in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the 15th.
South Korea took the lead with Oh Se-hoon's first goal in the 40th minute of the first half. Seol Young-woo's cross on the right side was deflected off the opponent's defender's foot. Bae Joon-ho, who saved the ball, connected to Oh Se-hoon, and Oh Se-hoon shook the net. Bae Joon-ho recorded help for the second consecutive game following the match against Jordan.
Jordan launched a counterattack. At the start of the second half, Jordan took out Lucas Shlimon and put in Ali Jasim. The card hit the mark. Jordan tied the score 1-1 in the fifth minute of the second half with Hussein's score.
Hong moved quickly. In the 14th minute of the second half, Oh Hyun-kyu and Moon Sun-min (Jeonbuk) were put in place of Oh Se-hoon and Bae Jun-ho. It changed the whole offense. Hong's mercenary skills were perfect.
Oh Hyun-kyu's equalizer came out in the 29th minute of the second half when the game was 1-1. Moon Sun-min broke through the opponent's left side line with his fast feet. Oh Hyun-kyu scored with his left foot on the ball Lee Jae-sung received. With this, Oh Hyun-kyu saw his second consecutive 'goal taste' following the last match against Jordan.
The destructive power of 'Hong Myung-bo' was not the end here. An additional score came out in the 37th minute of the second half. It was Lee Jae-sung. He completed a header goal for a cross from Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan) on the left. Lee Jae-sung scored his second consecutive goal following an away game against Jordan. South Korea is leading 3-1 by a large margin.
