Match Events

- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' Koo Jacheol needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 12' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kim Shinwook.
- 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. South Korea needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sebastian Larsson suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' It looks surprising Sweden does not make any changes. Ola Toivonen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
