The national football team preparing for the Qatar World Cup drew 2-2 in the evaluation match with Paraguay.

After conceding two goals first, the captains Son Heung-Min and Jung Woo-Young managed to balance the goal with consecutive goals, but they do not seem to be able to shake off concerns about the defense.

Bentuho was hit first by Paraguay, 50th in the FIFA rankings, which failed to qualify for the World Cup by finishing 8th in the South American qualifiers. 



In the 22nd minute of the first half, after losing the ball in midfield, DF Jeong Seung-hyeon couldn't get it out properly, so Almiron, who plays for Newcastle, gave the first goal. 



The defense, which is testing 'Plan B' amid Kim Min-jae's injury gap, continued to be uneasy.



In the 5th minute of the second half, Almiron, who counterattacked, conceded another goal with a loophole in the defensive transition from a corner kick opportunity. 



What changed the frustrating flow was a free kick from the captain Son Heung-min. 



In the 21st minute of the second half, Son Heung-min shook the net with an exquisite free kick that went over the defensive wall slightly. 



Son Heung-min, who scored a beautiful free-kick goal in two consecutive games following the match against Chile, promised a reversal by inducing louder cheers from the crowd, and substitute striker Jung Woo-young saved the team from defeat.



When Won-sang Um connected the ball shot from the rear to the front of the goal with one touch, Woo-young Jung rushed to the finish. 



Jung Woo-young, who helped open the scoring against Chile, made a clear mark by leading a 2-2 draw with attack points in two games in a row. 



[Jung Woo-young/Soccer national striker: It is very unfortunate that we did not do well in the first half, and it feels good to have contributed even a little to the team (with an equalizing goal).] In



the World Cup, even a single mistake is fatal. . 



The remaining time is about 5 months, and there are not many homework to be solved.
