On the afternoon of the 6th, the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under 23 (U-23) Asian Cup Qualifier Group B 1st match between Korea and Qatar held at the Changwon Soccer Center. The players of the Korean national team, who lost 0-2, are regretting it. 2023.9.6 Changwon Yonhap News The under-22 (U22) soccer team played its first match in Korea in the 2024 Paris Olympics first qualifying round and the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Asian Cup qualifying round, but was defeated by Qatar.

Korea lost 0-2 in the first leg of Group B of the U23 Asian Cup held at Changwon Soccer Center in Gyeongnam on the 6th. It is a tournament to determine which team will qualify for next year’s AFC U23 Asian Cup, the final Asian qualifier for the Paris Olympics. Korea aimed to win all three matches, but failed to secure victory from the first match.

Hwang Seon-Hong-Ho placed striker Heo Yul in the front line of Gwangju FC, which is making a sensation in the K-League 1 of professional football. Um Ji-seong (Gwangju), Kang Hyeon-muk (Gimcheon), Oh Jae-hyeok (Jeonbuk), and Jeon Byeong-gwan (Daejeon) were set up in the second line, and Lee Jin-yong (Daegu) as a defensive midfielder. The four-back defense consisted of Lee Tae-seok (Seoul), Jo Sung-kwon (Gimpo), Jo Wi-je (Busan), and Min Kyung-hyeon (Incheon), and the goal was Baek Jong-beom (Seoul).

In the 13th minute of the first half, Jeon Byeong-gwan’s shot on the right side of the goal area, following a low cross from Lee Tae-seok, was blocked by goalkeeper Youssef Abdullah.

Hwang Seon-Hong-Ho started the second half, excluding Jeon Byeong-Kwan and Kang Hyeon-Muk, and putting in Baek Sang-Hoon (Seoul) and Hong Yoon-Sang (Pohang) to make a difference. Baek Sang-hoon supported Heo Yul from behind, and Hong Yun-sang stood on the right side. Oh Jae-hyeok lowered his position to protect Lee Jin-yong and the midfielder.

In the 16th minute of the second half, Lee Jin-yong was replaced by European attacking midfielder Lee Hyeon-joo (Wiesbaden), aiming for an equalizer, but in the 22nd minute of the second half, he took on an additional goal due to a mistake. ▲ Greetings players
On the afternoon of the 6th, the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under 23 (U-23) Asian Cup Qualifier Group B 1st match between Korea and Qatar held at the Changwon Soccer Center. The Korean team, which lost 0-2, greets the fans. 2023.9.6 Changwon Yonhap News South Korea continued the offensive to score a comeback goal, but had to end the game without adding a single goal.

As Qatar has qualified for the finals as the host country of the U23 Asian Cup, the result of this match does not affect the group stage rankings. It’s like a friendly match.

However, Hwang Seon-Hong-Ho, who wanted to prove the preparation process, left a disappointment as he showed poor performance.

Moreover, Qatar coach Illidiu Balur has been in charge of the team for less than a month.

Coach Hwang Seon-hong said after the game, “In the first half of the build-up situation, a backward pass came out, and the fullback was static, so I tried to correct the position. When there was only one holding midfielder, it was difficult to build up, so I changed it to two and had the fullback participate in the attack.”

Korea faces Kyrgyzstan on the 9th and Myanmar on the 12th.
