On November 28, Beijing time, the second round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage ushered in the last match day! South Korea will face Ghana in Group H, who lost their first match and will not qualify from the group if they lose. Facing Ghana, the lowest ranked team in the world, South Korea will be infinitely closer to qualifying for the knockout round with three points!
21:00, Group H Group Stage 2nd Round: South Korea vs Ghana (CCTV5 live)
World No. 28 South Korea faced South American powerhouse Uruguay in the opening match, and the opponent hit the goal frame twice to give South Korea a thrilling point. Physical confrontation is completely good, and the reasonable use of fouls to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm has become one of the few highlights of the Korean team. Both teams keep making small moves, so that the success rate of passing is not high.
The South Korean striker's low shooting efficiency was once again exposed, and all seven shots in the game were deflected, especially in the first half, when Hwang Eui-suke hit the ball high when no one was in the box. Son Heung-min made 23 passes, Hwang Eui-suk 8 passes, and Law Sang-ho 18 passes, and the South Korean striker trio didn't have many chances to get the ball. Fortunately, the South Korean backline withstands, and Uruguay also inherits the "habit" of hitting the goal frame.
Ghana, ranked 61st in the world, lost 3-2 in their opening game against Portugal. The goals came 60 minutes later, and Ghana was able to pull one back after Portugal took a 3-1 lead and replaced the attacking players to secure the victory. With excellent physical fitness, Ghana's daring to foul and good fouling became the impression point of the first game. The team received 4 yellow cards and 19 fouls!
Ghana is not ranked high in the world, but there are not many players in the team who play in the five major leagues. Like Salisu, Alexander Giku, Amatai, Seydou in the backline, Partei and Samed in midfield, etc. are the main players in the club. Therefore, against a forward line with Son Heung-min, the Ghanaian midfielder should be able to adapt.
South Korea last met Ghana in a friendly match in 2014, when Ghana won 4-0. In the World Cup, South Korea has scored three times against African teams, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Ghana has failed to win their last five World Cup games (2 draws, 3 defeats), while South Korea have failed to score in three of their last five World Cup matches. The second round of the group stage seems to be the "nightmare" of the Korean team, 4 draws and 6 losses are difficult to win! (Unreliable forecast: South Korea 2-2 Ghana)
