The women's national team (FIFA ranking 21st) led by head coach Shin Sang-woo lost 0-5 in a friendly match against the Netherlands at 4:45 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) by giving up four consecutive goals to Manchester City striker Vivianer Miedema and a net to Ella Fedemons in the first half alone.
In the 3-5-2 formation, coach Shin put Park Soo-jung (AC Milan) and Son Hwa-yeon (Aiko Port Ball) as two top players. While Ji So-yeon (Birmingham City) works with Kim Min-ji (Seoul City Hall) and Lee Soo-bin (Hwacheon KSPO), Choo Hyo-joo (Ottawa Lapid) and Kim Jin-hee (Gyeongju KHNP) stepped up as wingbacks. Roh Jin-young (Moon Kyung-sang-moo), Kim Mi-yeon (Seoul City Hall) and Lee Min-hwa (Hwacheon KSPO) were in the three-back, and Kim Min-jung (Incheon Hyundai Steel) wore goalie gloves.
The Netherlands, the runner-up team of the 2019 Women's World Cup in France, has been strong from the beginning of the first half. In the 9th minute of the first half, Miedema scored the first goal with a low and fast shot in front of the penalty box, and eight minutes later, in the 17th minute of the first half, Miedema rushed in and pushed in to lead 2-0. Miedema led the Netherlands to victory with four goals at the Women's Euro held in her country in 2017, and she is a world-class striker who is active in England's WSL Arsenal and Manchester City as she led the runner-up with three goals at the French Women's World Cup. On September 24, 2022, he scored his 75th goal in North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, recording the most goals in WSL history, and he also had 100 goals in 125 games before the match.
The Korean defense collapsed helplessly against Miedema, who is 1m76, overwhelmingly physical, and the Netherlands' wave offensive centered on Miedema continued. Shortly after Miedema received Perova's pass in the 31st minute of the first half, a shot aimed at Nearpost shook the net once again and scored a hat trick, and Miedema's goal following Wilm's cross in the 38th minute of the first half scored 'Portrick'. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Fedemons' net goal was scored to end the first half 0-5.
At the start of the second half, South Korea made it clear that it would make a comeback by putting in Kim Shin-ji (Rangers) instead of Kim Mi-yeon and Kang Chae-rim (Montreal Rose) instead of Kim Min-ji. Song Jae-eun (Suwon FC), Choi Yu-ri (Incheon Hyundai Steel) in place of Park Soo-jung and Lee Soo-bin in the 19th minute of the second half, and Casey Fair (Jurgorden) in place of Son Hwa-yeon in the 25th minute of the second half, tried to turn it around, but it was not easy. In the 31st minute of the second half, Casey's shot, which flooded the gate following Kang Chae-rim's cross to the left of the box, failed due to the opponent's goalkeeper's good defense, and Song Jae-eun's powerful mid-range shot in the 34th minute of the second half also fell into the goalkeeper's arms. Lee Eun-young was put in place of Ji So-yeon, who played a lot in the 37th minute of the second half. He worked hard for the comeback goal until the end, but the Dutch wall was high. In the end, they ended the game with a five-goal loss. The Netherlands was defeated 0-4 by England and 2-5 by France in the women's Euros in July. It was a stage that reduced the difference in skills with European soccer powers that will face in the Women's World Cup. The match against Wales was played without broadcasting, and the match against the Netherlands was broadcast live on Coupang Play, but there were no commentators.
The women's national team, which drew 1-1 with Wales (32nd in FIFA rankings) in Malaga, Spain on the 29th of last month, finished its two consecutive away matches in Europe with one draw and one loss.
