The South Korean national football team, newly launched under the management of coach J?rgen Klinsmann, drew 2-2 in a friendly match against Colombia.
On the 24th, at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, the national team took a 2-0 lead at halftime with consecutive goals from captain Son Heung-min in the friendly against Colombia, but the left defense collapsed just five minutes into the second half, conceding two goals in quick succession.

Son Heung-min added two more goals, bringing his total to 37 goals in A matches, surpassing Park Eui-cheon (36 goals) to become the third highest all-time top scorer among South Korean male players in A matches.
That match was coach Klinsmann's debut game since his appointment as the head coach of the South Korean national football team last month.
