Despite the group stage losses to Belgium, Spain and Uruguay, a group of young players represented by Hong Mingfu and Huang Shanhong shone brightly in this tournament. Against Spain, Huangfu helped South Korea, who were 1-0 down, to equalize in the 43rd minute.
UAE: First Show + First Goal
The UAE, which is in the same group as Colombia, West Germany and Yugoslavia, fielded a young team in their World Cup debut. In the second round against star-studded Side Side , Khalid Ismail scored the UAE's first World Cup goal in the 46th minute. Tani Juma then helped the UAE score their second World Cup goal in the third round against Yugoslavia.
To this day, this Emirati team is still known as the "golden generation".
