We met again after two years. South Korea clashed with Colombia in the group stage of the FIFA Australia-New Zealand Women's World Cup held in July 2023. The result was a 0-2 defeat. South Korea brought Colombia home for the first time in two years and started a fight for revenge.

South Korea has made major changes. Jang Seul-gi, Ji So-yeon, Lee Young-joo, Kim Hye-ri, and Lim Sun-joo have put in a large number of new faces. In particular, Park Soo-jung, who was born in 2004, joined the A national team for the first time and made her debut as a starter.




The game has begun. The tense atmosphere tilted toward Colombia in the 15th minute of the first half. Caicedo scored Ramirez's pass with his right foot in the counterattack. However, offside was declared in the process. The score was canceled.

Colombia continued its attack. He scored the first goal in the 25th minute of the first half. In a set-piece situation, he caught the second ball and launched an attack. South Korea, which had been preventing this, committed a foul in a dangerous area. Usme was a free kicker and scored the first goal with a picturesque shot. Colombia, in the mood, continued to attack. Korea even made a mistake. I was dealt with by Ramirez's skillful game management. Shin Na-young committed a handball foul and gave up a penalty kick. However, Kim Min-jung blocked Usme's shot and prevented additional runs.

South Korea aimed to counterattack. However, he rarely penetrated the opponent's defense. The first half ended with a 0-1 deficit.
