Coach Kim Eun-joong’s team was looking to build on the momentum of their win against France and make it two wins in a row, but it didn’t start well.
In the 17th minute, Choi Hyun-seok’s foul was declared a penalty kick after video review, giving Honduran Ochoa the lead.
But it was Kim Yong-hak who changed the momentum.
Kim Yong-hak, who had scored an assist against France with a storming dribble on a counter-attack, was on the attack again, this time at breakneck speed, looking for the Honduran goal.
He also created several good chances with his sharp left-footed shot.
The long-awaited goal came in the 13th minute of the second half.
Lee Yong-hak connected with a left-footed shot off a ball from Lee Young-joon to pull one goal back, and four minutes later, the equalizer finally arrived.
However, on a great counterattack opportunity in stoppage time, Kim Yong-hak missed the timing of his pass and was left to lament.
After a flurry of attacks, the team was unable to find an additional goal and eventually drew 2-2 with Honduras.
With France’s second straight loss, our team secured at least third place in the group, and will now face Gambia in the final third-place match on the 29th.
