All 11 players in the starting lineup have changed.
The South Korean national football team, led by Coach Hong Myung-bo, will face Hong Kong at 8 p.m. on the 11th at Yongin Mir Stadium in the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) second leg.
Since this tournament is held outside the official FIFA A-match period, Coach Hong has mainly called up players from the K League.
This tournament is providing an actual match opportunity for players lacking experience with the national team, serving as a "test stage."
The Hong Myung-bo team achieved a commanding 3-0 victory against China in the opening match held on the 7th, where six players, including Kim Bong-soo (Daejeon), Lee Ho-jae (Pohang), Kang Sang-yoon (Jeonbuk), Mo Jae-hyun, Seo Min-woo (both Gangwon), and Lee Seung-won (Gimcheon), made their A-match debuts.
In this match against Hong Kong, many players have also been given opportunities. All 11 players in the starting lineup have changed.
It appears to be a lineup considering the final match against Japan.
Na Sang-ho and Lee Ho-jae will handle the offense. Seo Min-woo, Lee Seung-won, and Kang Sang-yoon will control the midfield. Kim Tae-hyun and Jo Hyun-taek will take the flanks, while Byun Jun-soo, Kim Tae-hyun, and Seo Myung-gwan will make up the three-back. The goalkeeper will be Jo Hyun-woo.
Jo Hyun-taek, Byun Jun-soo, Seo Myung-gwan, and Kim Tae-hyun (both of them) have seized their A-match debut opportunities.
