Defender Seung-Hyeon Jeong scored his debut goal after 19 appearances in his A matches.

Coach Klinsmann, who is aiming for his 11th consecutive World Cup final, used his elite starting lineup on this day as well, following the game against Singapore.

The frontline striker was Cho Kyu-sung (Midtjylland), and the second line of attack consisted of Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton).

In the midfield, Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) and Park Yong-woo (Al-Ain) worked together, and the four-back defensive line consisted of Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Ki-je Lee (Suwon), Seung-hyeon Jeong, and Tae-hwan Kim (Ulsan). The goal was guarded by Seung-gyu Kim (Al-Shabab).

Korea was awarded a penalty kick 9 minutes into the game due to a foul by the opponent. As Hwang Hee-chan rushed to the goal, he tripped on his opponent's feet and fell.

In the 11th minute, Son Heung-min took the kicker and easily scored the first goal by aiming for the bottom left corner of the goal.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min attempted to score with a mid-range shot from the front of the penalty box, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper. Hwang Hee-chan hit the stray ball again with his left foot, but it went directly in front of the goalkeeper.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, defender Lee Ki-je's mistake put Tan Long in danger, but fortunately the shot missed the goal.

Son Heung-min scored an additional goal by heading Lee Kang-in's cross from a corner kick set piece in the 45th minute at the end of the first half. We were able to finish the first half with an overwhelming atmosphere.

Korea took the lead in the second half as well.

In the 8th minute of the second half, in a counterattack opportunity, Lee Kang-in received a pass from Son Heung-min and hit it with his right foot past the goalkeeper, but it was caught by a defender who threw his body.

In the 20th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in shocked the Chinese team by attempting a surprise shot with three defenders in front of the penalty box.

Coach Klinsmann attempted a change in the 27th minute of the second half by subtracting Cho Gyu-seong, Hwang Hee-chan, and Kim Tae-hwan and inserting Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), and Seol Young-woo (Ulsan).

On the 18th, Hwang Ui-jo, who appeared at the police as a suspect on charges of illegal filming of sexual intercourse and was investigated, was grounded contrary to expectations. Coach Klinsmann seemed unconcerned about the off-field controversy.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, Jeong Seung-hyun hit China's net with an accurate header on Son Heung-min's cross from a free kick set piece. It was his debut goal after 19 A matches.
