Yesterday (28th), our national soccer team fought hard against Ghana, but the jinx in the second leg of the World Cup group stage that has plagued Korean soccer for a long time has not been broken this time either.
Our national team, led by Bento, was unfortunately defeated 2-3 by Ghana in the second round of Group H in the group stage yesterday.
Korean football has won six World Cups in history, but has yet to win the second match of the group stage.
For 68 years since the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, where they first participated, the so-called '2nd match draw jinx' has been going on.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, which wrote a semifinal myth, the second match against the United States was a 1-1 draw, and in the 2010 World Cup South Africa, which achieved the first ever away round of 16, it lost to Argentina 1-4 in the second match.
Bentoho tried to break this long second-leg cruelty this time, but breaking the jinx was passed on to the next World Cup.
