Focusing on the win against South Africa

The South Korea national football team must stop South Africa's attack to advance to the 2026 World Cup round of 32. South Africa is currently in 4th place with 1 point. If South Korea wins and Czech Republic wins or draws against Mexico, they can jump to 2nd place in the group.

South Africa's attack strategy

South Africa is expected to launch a 'goal-hunting offense'. South African football expert media 'Radduma' predicted on the 24th that "Coach Hugo Broos will use an attacking 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 tactic instead of a defensive 5-3-2 tactic".

Korea's defense strategy

Korean defender Kim Min-jae said in a pre-match press conference, "We are preparing with the defense team because the opponents have individual skills and speed". Kim Min-jae is expected to play alongside Lee Ki-hyeok and Lee Han-beom.
