Korea's sharp spear takes aim at Oman's rusted shield.
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play at Goyang Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 20th in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.
Currently, Korea ranks first with 14 points (4 wins and 2 draws), while Oman ranks fourth with 6 points (2 wins and 4 losses).
Five days later, on the 25th, the home game of Group B against Jordan is waiting at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
In the third round of the Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, the top 1st and 2nd places in each group will advance to the finals.
South Korea plans to hold both games to confirm its advance to the World Cup finals in North Korea, China and the U.S. early.
Oman exposed defensive unease, allowing nine runs through six games in the third qualifying round.
The national soccer team also had a pleasant victory against Oman in its first showdown.
In September last year, the second leg of the tournament was held 3-1 on the road, marking the first victory in the third qualifying round.
It was thanks to Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton)'s first goal, Son Heung-min (Tottenham)'s additional goal, and Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon Hana Citizen)'s net goal.
Oman's defensive instability was also seen at the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup held in Kuwait in December last year.
At that time, Oman was a runner-up, but allowed a run (6 runs) in all games for five games from the group stage to the final.
Al-Bussaidi and Ahmed Al-Kamish, who are leading the league in their own leagues, are setting up defense teams, but they lack organizational skills.
This is why the victory in the match against Oman is up to the strikers.
South Korea has scored 12 goals in six games in the third qualifying round, and fierce strikers are waiting for their appearance again this time.
At the forefront are Joo Min-kyu, who has five goals and one assist in five K-League 1 games, Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk), who has scored the first double-digit score (10 goals) in the European stage, and Oh Se-hoon (Manchida), who scored two goals for the national soccer team last year.
The second line will include legendary Son Heung-min, who does not need an explanation, Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Unsung Hero Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who dreams of revival with the national flag.
There are also Lee Dong-kyung (Kim Cheon Sang-mu), who dominated the K League 1, Yang Hyun-joon (Celtic), whose sharpness has peaked since last month, Bae Joon-ho (Stoke), Um Ji-sung (Swanji), and Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers).
