South Korea drew 1-1 in Group B's seventh match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against Oman at Goyang Stadium on the 20th. Although he continued his unbeaten run, his 11th consecutive World Cup qualification stopped at the eighth ridge. Hong Myung-bo remained in first place with four wins and three draws and 15 points, but the aftertaste was uncomfortable. Hong Myung-bo will play the eighth game against Jordan at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 25th.
Until the middle of the first half, the frustrating trend continued to the extent that he could not shoot a single shot. After Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham) collapsed due to injury, Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) was deployed, changing the atmosphere. Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who received Lee Kang-in's super kill pass in the 41st minute of the first half, scored the first goal. However, in the 35th minute of the second half, an irreversible large-scale music came out. Lee Kang-in collapsed complaining of pain. Oman continued to attack through the clutter, and Ali al-Busaidi's left-footed goal was scored.
The pain of the injury was great. 'The leader of the defense line'Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) failed to call up due to left Achilles tendinitis. Hwang In-beom's calf muscle condition is not yet complete. He also suffered an additional bruise on his foot in the match against Tvente just before joining the team. Hwang was not even included in the entry. Defender Jung Seung-hyun (Al-Wasl) also failed to make the entry due to injury. Lee Kang-in also collapsed following Baek Seung-ho during the game.

In an interview ahead of training tomorrow afternoon, Hong will reveal the exact conditions of the injured and their future operational plans. As of now, it is unclear whether he will play in the match against Jordan.
