Lee Jae-seong scores first goal in the 19th minute of the first half Lee Kang-in starts

Korean soccer won an away game in Thailand and crossed the 9th stage of advancing to the 2026 North, Central and American World Cup Asia final qualifying round.

The national soccer team led by interim coach Hwang Seon-hong, Jae-seong Lee (Mainz) and Heung-min Son in the 4th game of Group C of the North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round against Thailand held at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand at 9:30 pm (Korean time) on the 26th. (Tottenham) won 3-0 thanks to consecutive goals from Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk).

In the third game held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 21st, Korea lost its pride by failing to protect Son Heung-min’s first goal and drew 1-1, but changed the mood with a refreshing victory. Thailand is ranked 101st in the FIFA rankings, well below Korea (22nd).

Korea, which reported 3 wins (1 draw, 10 points), maintained first place in Group C and has almost reached the final qualifying round to advance to second place in each group.

China, which defeated Singapore 4-1 that day, ranked second with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss (7 points), and Thailand ranked 3rd with 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses (4 points).

Korea will play the 5th and 6th games against Singapore and China in June. Even if they secure just one point from two games, they can be at least in second place in the group. 스포츠토토
