Korea vs. Jordan Match Ratings
Written by Paul Jeung.
Hong Myung Bo 6.5: Injuries might have contributed, but really good adjustments and took chances by subbing in young players.
Lee Myung Jae 6: Solid on the left, mistake-free, and clean football overall.
Kim Min Jae 7.5: The difference in our back line; with and without Minjae is night and day. Glad to have him back there.
Cho Yu Min 7: Not as impactful as Min Jae, but complemented Min Jae very well, was mistake-free, and passed the ball nicely.
Seol Yeong woo 7.5: One of our best players, specifically in the 1st half. Picked up a great assist.
Park Yong Woo 6: Solid, for once. Nothing much to note, but he wasn’t his usual eye-sore self.
Hwang In Beom 8: Best overall player from start to finish. Escaped pressure really well today (not usually his strong suit) and sprayed the ball around with great accuracy.
Lee Jae Sung 7: A very Jae Sung-like performance, capped off with a crash the box header goal.
Kang In Lee 5: I’ve never seen him play this bad. No shooting boots, no passing boots, no dribbling boots. It’s like a Monstar came in and stole his talents. Expect a big bounce back from him.
Hwang Hee Chan 5.5: Had some moments, but his passing was atrocious. Hopefully the injury isn’t serious.
Joo Min Gyu 5: The invisible man. It doesn’t help when the man who comes in for you lights it up.
Notable Subs:
Eom Ji Sung 5.5: Looked light on his feet, but had some iffy decision making. Hopefully his injury isn’t bad either.
Bae Jun Ho 7.5: Electric today, great energy, and he dribbled very well. Him and Oh lit up the 2nd half. Looked like our most dangerous overall player in the 2nd half.
Oh Hyeon Gyu 7.5: What a breath of fresh air. Explosive, dangerous, aggressive. He took shots and was rewarded with a Mbappe-like finish. Great game from Oh; want him to earn a start against Iraq.
We’ll be back for next Tuesday’s match in Yongin against Iraq.
Kick-off vs Iraq: 8 PM KST, 7 AM EST (Tuesday, Oct. 15).
