It was a time to realize how scary the ‘Ambush in Africa’ is. Morocco, which we will meet at the World Cup stage, is worse than Zambia.

The Republic of Korea women’s national soccer team (ranked 25th in FIFA rankings) led by coach Colin Bell had a slugfest against Zambia (ranked 77th in FIFA) in the first leg of the ‘Shinsegae E-Mart Invitational Women’s National Football Team Friendly Match’ held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7:00 pm on the 7th. We won 5-2 at the end.카지노사이트

The women’s national team is preparing for the World Cup under a long-term project. In order to prepare for Colombia (No. 26 in FIFA rankings), Germany (No. 2 in FIFA rankings), and Morocco (No. 73 in FIFA rankings) in Group H of the group stage, they planned a ‘customized sparring stage’ and learned how to practice. The match against Zambia is a two-part evaluation match to prepare for the match against Morocco.

Zambia is a perfect ‘spar partner’. They advanced to the World Cup by finishing third in the 2022 African Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Cup of Nations. At the time of the 3rd-4th place match, it was enough to catch Nigeria (FIFA ranking 42nd), the strongest African women’s soccer team. As Zambia is also speeding up preparations for the World Cup, both teams were expected to fight fiercely.

Korea started with a 3-4-3 formation. Choo Hyo-joo, Son Hwa-yeon, and Jeong Seol-bin were responsible for scoring from the front. The midfield consisted of Cho So-hyun, Lee Geum-min, Kim Yun-ji, and Jang Seul-gi. The three backs were teamed up with Lim Seon-joo, Hong Hye-ji, and Kim Hye-ri. The goalkeeper gloves were worn by Kim Jung-mi.

In fact, Zambia showed how terrifying the ‘African ambush’ is. Cho So-Hyun was allowed to concede the first goal, but the game was overturned. At the end of the first half, Kundinanji Rachel and Banda Barbra scored an equalizer and a come-from-behind goal, respectively, putting the Red Devils to silence.

After entering the second half, Korea balanced the score with a joint goal by substitute Park Eun-sun and veteran midfielder Lee Geum-min. Soon after, Lee Geum-min scored a multi-goal and a come-from-behind goal to turn the game around. South Korea won 5-2 with Cho So-Hyun and Park Eun-Seon’s additional goals in the remaining time.

Although the difference in scores is large, today Zambia showed their concentration and overcame various adverse conditions and succeeded in reversing for a while. Morocco at the World Cup will surely be more than Zambia.

Belho will play the second match against Zambia at Yongin Mir Stadium at 7:00 pm on Tuesday the 11th. Even in the midst of a crisis in which Korea reverses itself today, it should relive the memory of overturning the game.
