In the 42nd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min assisted and scored with a header.
Jeong Seung-hyeon (Ulsan Hyundai), who has established himself as the starting defender for the Korean men's soccer team led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, received a double victory by scoring his debut goal in the international match.
Klinsmann played for Son Heung-min (Tottenham) in the second match of Group C of the '2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia Regional 2nd Qualification' against China held at the Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China at 9 p.m. on the 21st (Korean time). They won 3-0 thanks to multiple goals and an additional goal from Jeong Seung-hyun.
As a result, Korea, which had won 5-0 against Singapore on the 16th, achieved two consecutive wins and took first place in Group C. It is also encouraging that the team achieved success in the last A match in 2023.
In addition, Jeong Seung-hyun, who recently emerged as Klinsmann's starting defender, also scored his debut goal in the international match.
Under former coach Paulo Bento, who led the team until last year, the partner of key defender Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) was Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan).
Left-footed Kim Young-kwon and right-footed Kim Min-jae were placed in left and right central defense positions and used to play more efficient and fast passing soccer.
Even in the early days of Coach Klinsmann's appointment, 카지노사이트랭크 Kim Young-kwon was paired with Kim Min-jae, but from the Peru game last June, Kim Min-jae's partner was changed to Jeong Seung-hyun.
Seung-Hyeon Jeong showed off his strong presence by working with Ji-Soo Park (Wuhan), who played in his place in the June international match when Min-Jae Kim was injured. Since then, Jeong Seung-hyun has been consistently chosen as Kim Min-jae's partner.
Although they showed some uneasiness in the September A match, they boasted stable defense in the two-game series last October and this November. As a result, the Jeong Seung-hyeon-Kim Min-jae line drew no points in six consecutive A matches.
In addition, Seung-Hyun Jeong even scored his A-match debut goal in the game against China. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min finished a cross from the right side of the opponent's penalty box with a header, scoring his first goal in 19 A matches.
Klinsmann's attention now turns to the Asian Cup to be held in Qatar next January. Coach Klinsmann is aiming to win. In order to achieve this goal, the key is to maintain the performance that Seung-Hyun Jeong has shown so far. 섯다
