In terms of quality, South Korea should be able to do better in refinement.
Ui Jo Hwang failed to capitalize on Korea’s best golden opportunity in the first round.
On the other hand, Uruguay also looks dangerous through counter-attack schemes. However, Nunez and Suarez didn’t get a good supply of balls in the first 45 minutes of the half.
In the second half, a number of substitutes could be an option for South Korea and Uruguay.
Uruguay can insert Edinson Cavani to replace Suarez, who doesn’t seem to be helping the attack optimally.
Meanwhile, South Korea still have Hwang Hee Chan and Kwon Chang-hoon on the bench.
