Iraq faced off with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Mohanad Ali was at the front line and Montader Madjed-Ali Jasim-Ibraheem Vayesh was at the second line of attack. Amir al-Amari-Osama Rashid filled the midfield and Mercas Doski-Ali Adnan-Sad Natik-Hussein Ali formed a four-back. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Jalal Haasan.
South Korea, which finished with a 1-0 lead thanks to Lee Jae-sung’s score in the first half, used a substitution card at the start of the second half. Having switched five spots, South Korea put in Cho Kyu-sung, Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-jae and Hwang Hee-chan, bringing Oh Hyun-kyu, Lee Jae-sung, Hong Hyun-suk, Jung Seung-hyun and Jung Woo-young to the bench. In the second half, South Korea rarely scored despite having a large number of key overseas players.
Rather, in the 40th minute of the second half, South Korea was hit by a variable. During the ball contest, Lee Kang-in collided with Iraq’s No. 25 Ahmed Yehija. Lee Kang-in, who had been warned once earlier, was sent off due to accumulated warnings. South Korea, which maintained its concentration until 3 minutes in extra time, secured a 1-0 victory, but Lee Kang-in’s exit was a fortunate scene because it was a friendly match.
Korea, which aims to win its first Asian Cup championship in 64 years, usually meets its best team at the Asian Cup. A “provocation” strategy can be launched in which the opponent team rubs off the players by making persistent fouls. In a difficult situation, a rough tackle by an opponent can make the player angry momentarily. Through this match against Iraq, Korea experienced this situation in advance and got a good shot.
