The South Korean national soccer team A is being dragged by allowing a run to Jermain Ryo in the eighth minute of the first half in the third game of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) against Japan at 7:24 p.m. on the 15th at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.
South Korea and Japan changed their seats by two compared to the first match, as if they had promised. Compared to the match against China (3-0 wins), South Korea deployed Seo Min-woo instead of midfielder Kim Bong-soo and Na Sang-ho instead of winger Moon Seon-min, respectively. It is interpreted as reflecting the performance of the second game.
Joo Min-gyu took over as the one-top, and Na Sang-ho Lee Dong-kyung was placed in the second line. Seo Min-woo and Kim Jin-kyu are in charge of the midfield, and Lee Tae-seok and Kim Moon-hwan are located at wingback. Kim Joo-sung, Park Jin-seop and Park Seung-wook set up a three-back. Cho Hyun-woo defended the goal again.
Japan formed an offensive team with Kakita Yuki, Miyashiro Tasei, and Germain Ryo. Henry Hiroki Mochizuki, Inagaki Sho, Kawabe Hayao and Soma Yuki built the midfield, while Daiyo Koga, Hayato Araki and Tomoya Endo played the three-back. Osako Keisuke wore goalkeeper gloves.
South Korea got a good chance first. In the 7th minute of the first half, Lee Tae-seok, who received the ball from the defense, stabbed a space pass toward the back of the defense, and Na Sang-ho, who caught the ball at the left point of the opponent's camp, dug into the center and swung his right foot. The ball flew towards the bottom right of the goal to avoid the goalkeeper's hand and hit the post.
Behind the opportunity came a crisis. In the 8th minute of the first half, Ryo connected the left cross with a left-footed volley from the gate and penetrated the goal protected by Cho Hyun-woo. Ryu, who scored four goals in the match against Hong Kong, increased his score for the tournament to five goals.
