Saudi Arabia will then take on South Korea, who will face South Korea in a matchup. When South Korea head coach Jurgen Klinsmann drew with Malaysia in the previous round, he had a strange smile on his face. There have been many strong teams in history who have deliberately picked on their own enemies, only to end in failure, such as Denmark at Euro 2004, Sweden, Spain in 2022, etc. Now, South Korea is deliberately avoiding the match against Japan.
South Korea are now ranked 23rd and have Son Heung-min and a top star from the top five leagues, making for a very strong team. However, South Korea were a disappointing game in this one, drawing one and conceding six goals in the game.
The Saudi team is very strong, occupying half of the home field, although the Saudi football training method is a kind of entertainment, and the Saudis will not blindly trust foreign players, so when the Saudi football team is in Qatar, there is no foreign star to join. But that doesn't mean their team is weak. In past encounters, Saudi Arabia has often been able to deal heavy blows to South Korea and Japan. And in this World Cup, Saudi Arabia occupies half of the home advantage.
Both sides were scoreless in the first half, but in the 33rd minute of the second half, Radif scored a solo goal to give Saudi Arabia a 1-0 victory over South Korea.
In the 67th minute, Saudi Arabia had a good chance to counter-attack, and his shot was dangerous, but only slightly higher. In the 77th minute, Saudi Arabia was another single knife, fortunately, the South Korean goalkeeper rushed up, and in the 85th minute, South Korea got an excellent shot, but it was defused by the Saudi goalkeeper, South Korea's offensive began to improve, and the Saudi Arabian back line was very tight, and the goalkeeper resolved it one by one.
In the 92nd minute, South Korea continued to attack, but hit the post, and they lost the chance to score again; In the 93rd minute, two South Korean people used the cover of free kicks to successfully resolve the crisis; In the 992nd minute, South Korea's single knife deviated a little, and the second mistake, in the 98th minute, Xue Yongyou's pass gave Cho Gyu-sung a beautiful header.
Halfway through the second half, neither side scored, and the South Korean goalkeeper equalized 4-2 with excellent saves and saves, and South Korea entered the quarterfinals with a score of 5-3, South Korea was almost eliminated, and if it wasn't for the referee's reduction in stoppage time, Saudi Arabia would have likely reached the final.
