The U-20 national team, led by head coach Lee Chang-won, will play the second Group B match of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2025 against Paraguay at Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander in Valparaiso, Chile, at 8 a.m. on the 1st (Korea time). It's a game where you have to win points. South Korea lost to Ukraine 1-2 in the first match on the 28th. The national team, which allowed two goals in the 16th minute of the first half, scored a comeback goal in the 35th minute of the second half, but failed to score an equalizer in the end and fell to its knees.
In the same group match held on the same day, Paraguay defeated Panama 3-2, and South Korea fell to the bottom of the group. In this tournament, 24 teams will be divided into six groups of four teams, and four teams with good performance among the first, second and third-place teams in each group will win the round of 16. Looking at the results of the previous tournament, one win, one draw, and one loss can occupy an advantageous position to advance to the round of 16. Assuming that the team wins the final match against Panama on the 4th, it should win at least a draw against Paraguay. Of course, victory is the best scenario.

Ace is Enso Gonzalez with number 10. Gonzalez, Paraguay's only European side, plays for Wolverhampton, where Hwang Hee-chan belongs. He has already made his English Premier League debut. He has a small stature of 1m69, but leads Paraguay's attack with excellent skill and creative play. He also scored a goal in the match against Panama. For South Korea, which struggled with its defense faltering in the match against Ukraine, it is important to press hard from the beginning so that Gonzalez cannot stretch his spirit.
Paraguay's weakness is defense. He also allowed as many as 18 goals in nine matches in the Latin American qualifiers. It was 0-6 against Uruguay and 0-4 against Colombia. Once shaken, it has the characteristic of collapsing. 'Weakness' also conceded two goals to Panama. If the bold attack that plagued Ukraine in the second half is revived, it can unexpectedly break down the opponent. In particular, as the height of the defense is a weakness, it is necessary to actively utilize the set piece that was powerful in the match against Ukraine.
Director Lee Chang-won said, `We have to pass the preliminary round somehow"I threw my hat in the ring. The match against Paraguay is a watershed moment.
