Shin Sang-ho's brave 'Breaking' squad has paid off meaningfully. I confirmed the future of Korean women's soccer.
The South Korean women's national soccer team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, drew 1-1 in the second friendly match against Colombia at Mir Stadium in Yongin at 7 p.m. on the 2nd.
Coach Shin put out a completely different starting lineup from the first game on the day. With Ji So-yeon (Seattle Lane) returning to her team early after the first game, the second game was set up as "young blood". With veterans such as Kim Hye-ri and Lee Young-joo all guarding the bench, Jeon Yu-kyung (21, Molde) born in 2004 and Jung Da-bin (20, Korea University) born in 2005 took the lead in offense. Lee Geum-min and Choi Yu-ri led the juniors as the eldest sisters of the duo born in 1994 in Birmingham City. As many as five of the 11 players (Jeon Yoo-kyung, Jung Da-bin, Choo Hyo-joo, Minyoung Jung, and Roh Jin-young) made their A-match debuts, including Jeon Yu-kyung, Kim Mi-yeon (30), Minyoung Jung (25, Seoul City Hall) and Lee Min-hwa (25, Mungyeong Sangmu). Recently, the youngest national college squad has played in the A-match. Ahead of the two consecutive games against Colombia, Shin said, `I'm going to give every player a chance in the two games against Colombia. Rather than just training young players, if they bump their bodies directly on the field and feel adult representative level play, a generational change will take place." It went according to the plan.

▶ Overall
Midfielder Minyoung Jung, who is leading the WK League's Seoul City Hall this season, flashed in the second minute of the first half. Immediately after Lee Geum-min's cross, he snatched the ball that flowed out during the chaos of the gate and calmly shook the net with his left foot. He scored his debut goal. Instead of veteran Jeon Eun-ha, the substitute player became a blessing in disguise for Shin Sang-ho. He scored the first goal of the Shin Sang-woo's home game and broke the scoreless record of three A matches.
Coach Shin Sang-woo has stepped up the line and stepped up to the ground. Immediately after the first goal, Colombia shook the net, but offside was declared. In the 17th minute of the first half 'Chelsea ace' Ramirez's shot went high. In the 20th minute of the first half, Carolina Arias, who was blocking Jeon Yu-kyung's aggressive dribble, was given a foul. Kim Mi-yeon's header, following Lee Geum-min's cross in the 21st minute of the first half, slightly missed the post. Choi Yu-ri's shot, which took over Jeon Yu-kyung's pass in the 24th minute of the first half, hit the post. South Korea's threatening attacks followed.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Lee Min-hwa's turning shot following Kim Jin-hee's long pass failed. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Caicedo and Choi Yu-ri collided in the frustrating flow as the game did not go their way due to the throwing spirit of the Korean young guns. In a fierce war of nerves, not an inch was lost. In the 37th minute of the first half, Jeon Yu-kyung's powerful right foot shot slightly missed the post. In the 44th minute of the first half, Colombia's Horelin Caravalli's free kick went high. Colombian strikers did not show the same power as Game 1. They finished the first half with a 1-0 lead.
▶Second half
At the start of the second half, he added Kang Chae-rim instead of Choi Yu-ri and Park Soo-jung instead of Jung Da-bin to increase the offensive. Jeon Yoo-kyung stepped up as the front-line striker instead of Jung Da-bin. Jeon Yu-kyung's shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper in the third minute of the second half. Kang Chae-rim's subsequent shot also hit the post. Jeon Yoo-kyung and Park Soo-jung, who were active in the under-20 national team, stood out.
Colombia's offensive intensified after 10 minutes of the second half. Defenders such as goalkeeper Ryu Ji-soo and Kim Jin-hee threw themselves to prevent a series of crises. In the 14th minute of the second half, Lee Geum-min's kill pass to Park Soo-jung following a fiery rush, but the shot was blocked by opposing goalkeeper Katerin Tapia. In the 18th minute of the second half, Kim Jin-hee's clearing, which tried to block Caicedo's shot, was sucked into the net and gave up an own goal by Tongan.
In the 17th minute of the second half, coach Shin Sang-woo put in Kim Shin-ji instead of Minyoung Jung who played a lot. In the 26th minute of the second half, Caicedo's fiery counterattack and South Korea's fighting spirit were brilliant. Ryu Ji-soo blocked a shot that overtook Shin Ji-shin. Choo Hyo-joo, who took over the second ball, desperately cleared Colombia's Wendy Bonilla's shot in front of the net. He defended himself with a dedicated defense and saved a come-from-behind goal. Coach Shin Sang-woo went on the last offensive in the 30th minute of the second half, putting Moon Eun-joo and Casey Eugene Fair instead of Lee Geum-min and Jeon Yoo-kyung. In the 5th minute of extra time, he crawled through Colombia's wave offensive to keep the score tied 1-1. In the 1st round, Catalina Usme, "Chelsea ace" Myra Ramirez, "Real Madrid ace" Linda Caseido was unilaterally beaten by 0-1.
