Bentuho's build-up soccer did not work well for Brazil.

Still, our players constantly knocked on the goal, and Baek Seung-ho's powerful mid-range shot kept our pride.

could not easily find a way out in front of Brazil's pressure and cooperative defense, which even had individual skills.



The build-up process was not smooth, and long balls with long passes were also caught in the offside trap.



Still, I tried to attack constantly through various routes.



Hwang Hee-chan led the attack in the first half.



He was caught off guard with bold mid-range shots, and he diligently searched for his bow, attempting quick breakthroughs.



In the second half, counter-attacks created opportunities.



In the 2nd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min broke through quickly and aimed for the corner of the goal, but this scene was the most regrettable, as he was hit by Alisson's goalkeeper's shoulder.



In the 23rd minute of the second half, Hwang Hee-chan's mid-range shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Son Heung-min's successive shots were also caught on the defense.



In the 31st minute of the second half, after Cho Kyu-seong was fouled in the counterattack process, Lee Kang-in's free kick and Baek Seung-ho's scathing mid-range shot shook the net, finally bearing fruit.

Our players continued to aim for the goal afterward, but failed to score an extra goal.



Although they lost by 3 goals, Korea had the best record against Brazil in this tournament.



They were evenly matched with Brazil with the highest share of 48%, and had the most with 10 shots and 6 shots on target.



Of course, Brazil took out some key players such as Neymar and Vinicius in the second half, but Korean soccer showed its tenacious potential by standing up against the world's strongest with attacking soccer.
