Amid Jordan's intensifying offensive, head coach Hong deployed Bae Joon-ho and Oh Hyun-kyu at the same time in the 6th minute of the second half. It was a stroke of God. Bae Joon-ho, born in 2003, who appeared amid a series of injuries and anxiety, was 'starting'. While Lee Kang-in's offensive path was blocked by the opponent's dense defense, Bae Joon-ho constantly flashed from the left. The scene of the forward pass that led Oh Hyun-kyu's net goal in the 23rd minute of the second half, the cider-like forward dribble from the left side in the 34th minute of the second half, penetrating into the center of the opponent's defense gap and shooting without hesitation was overwhelming. He also proved why he is the king of Stoke City in the A-match. According to soccer statistics media Footmob, Bae Joon-ho proved his remarkable performance with one assist, 100% pass success rate (29 out of 29), 2 key passes, 1 effective shot, 100% dribble success rate (2 out of 2), 1 tackle success, and 3 ball competitions during 45 minutes, including extra time.

According to the minutes of the 10th meeting of the Korea Football Association's Power Enhancement Committee led by Chairman Jung Hae-sung, the common opinion of the majority of the members who argued that `domestic coaches should be selected' was the future of Korean soccer. In the case of foreign coaches whose immediate performance is important, it is difficult to conduct a challenging experiment except for the previously set 'Best 11', and the prevailing opinion was that it is time for a domestic coach to tie the divided national team back to Korea's unique original team after the Qatar Asian Cup. It is a great income to discover the hopes of future generations in Korea during the crisis through the Jordanian War.

Oh Hyun-kyu said, `It wasn't an easy game today, but I'm happy to win as one. To the people, I am happy to repay the fans who came with a victory." It took me a long time to make my debut, but I'll do my best to score more goals" expressed his determination. Bae Joon-ho said, `I tried to prepare more because it wasn't an easy opportunity, and I thought a lot about how to take the opportunity, but I'm glad I could show you with my performance.' "As a player who plays in the offensive side, it is meaningful to accumulate offensive points in these games. I will try to score more goals and help in the national team." "My older brothers in the same position are injured and I can have a chance, but there's nothing much different. I always prepared with the mindset that I could enter the stadium, so if I prepare hard for the game with my brothers like now, I will have a good opportunity."
