In the second half of the match against Uruguay held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th, South Korea's national football team player Hwang In-beom (Olympiacos) opened the opponent's goal with a right-footed shot, leveling the score.
In the friendly match against Uruguay that day, South Korea, which ended the first half at 0-1, made it 1-1 with Hwang In-beom's equalizing goal in the 6th minute of the second half. Lee Jae-sung's left-side cross, which bounced off the opponent's defense, was connected by Lee Gi-je, and it reached Hwang In-beom's right foot, leading to a thrilling shot. Hwang In-beom did not perform any special celebration after scoring. This was his 5th goal in his 43rd A-match appearance.
On that day, Coach Klinsmann placed Hwang Ui-jo (Seoul) at the forefront instead of Cho Gue-sung (Jeonbuk), with Son Heung-min positioned below Hwang Ui-jo. Lee Jae-sung (Mainz) and Lee Kang-in (Mallorca) stood on the left and right of the second line. In midfield, Hwang In-beom and Jung Woo-young (Al Sadd) played the role of linking offense and defense. The back four defense line was composed of Lee Gi-je (Suwon), Kim Young-gwon (Ulsan), Kim Min-jae (Napoli), and Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan) from the left. The goal was guarded by Jo Hyeon-woo (Ulsan) for the first time in eight months since the EAFF E-1 Championship match against Japan held in July last year.
In the first half, Jose Luis Rodriguez threatened the goal with a shot from the right side of the penalty area from the early stages, and South Korea conceded a goal to Sebastian Coates within 10 minutes.
