Hong Myung-bo finished with a 1-0 lead in the first half in the fourth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Iraq at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the 15th.
The process was good, and the long-awaited fruit came to fruition in the 40th minute of the first half. Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City) were the new hopes of Korean soccer. Oh Se-hoon also showed an outstanding performance.
Coach Hong Myung-bo brought up the 4-2-3-1 system again. The offensive line is younger. Two players have changed compared to the best 11 against Jordan five days ago. Instead of 34-year-old Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan), 25-year-old Oh Se-hoon was in the top. In the second round, Bae Joon-ho, born in 2003, made his first start in four A matches instead of Son Heung-min (Tottenham) who failed to join due to injury and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who was called up, and worked with Lee Jae-sung (Minutes) Lee Kang-in. Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) and Park Yong-woo (Al Ain) were located in defensive midfielders, while Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Cho Yoo-min (Sharja) and Seol Young-woo (Zvezda) were located in the four backs. Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan) kept the goal unchanged.

Following the beautiful flow, Hwang In-beom's left-footed mid-range shot crossed the crossbar in the 7th minute of the first half. Bae Jun-ho's straight play without fear continued to haunt the Iraqi defense.
Bae Joon-ho got a foul in the 14th minute of the first half when he drilled between two Iraqi players with a bold dribble. Bae Joon-ho's one-man show also shone in the 20th minute of the first half, but the last connection was regrettable.
In the midfield, Park Yong-woo blocked the opponent's salary. In the 21st and 26th minutes of the first half, he provided a sense of stability with a play that broke the pulse of the counterattack. Lee Kang-in's brilliant individual skills also drew cheers from the crowd. The long pass connected to Lee Jae-sung in the 30th minute of the first half was a little long, but there was no flaw.
