  • 15' Uruguay started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lee Kangin made 431 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' South Korea is showing some good football. However, South Korea are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 50' Uruguay seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 74' Hwang Uijo makes way for Gue-Sung Cho at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from South Korea.
  • 75' A tactical swap from South Korea — Lee Kangin on, Sang-ho Na off on 75 minutes.
  • 79' Nicolas de la Cruz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matias Vecino at the 79 minute mark.
  • 84' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 88' Guillermo Varela has so much to prove this time. He replaces Facundo Pellistri on 88 minute.
  • 88' Gue-Sung Cho is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
  • 89' Controversy at the stadium! Gue-Sung Cho argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Paulo Bento on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. South Korea will be frustrated.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
