Ghana, which ranks 15th in the FIFA World Rankings, advanced into the quarterfinals during last year’s World Cup in South Africa.
When looking at previous matches between South Korea and the African nation, South Korea beat Ghana 3-0 during the 1997 Korea Cup. During two friendly matches held ahead of the 2006 World Cup finals, South Korea lost to Ghana in both matches.
Tuesday’s match in Jeonju showed that the South Korean team struggled in terms of defense. As a result, making the team’s defense stronger is regarded to be the key task for South Korea ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
