Match Stats

South Korea:

Despite a promising start to the tournament with a three-match unbeaten streak, Malaysia's fortunes took a downturn at the Asian Cup. Despite defensive improvements in the second match, a late concession led to a disappointing result. Looking ahead, Kim Pan-gon shifts focus to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where Malaysia leads their group with maximum points from two games.


Malaysia:

While Malaysia has struggled historically in the Asian Cup, there's an opportunity to salvage something this time. The team has not won an Asian Cup group fixture since 1980 and faces the challenge of breaking a goal-scoring drought in such matches. With a long-standing winless record against South Korea, dating back to 1985, Malaysia aims to overcome historical challenges in future competitions.


Analysis:

South Korea faces challenges in the Asian Cup as goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu is sidelined due to a torn ACL, with Jo Hyeon-woo taking his place. Hwang Hee-chan is also absent with a hip injury. Captain Son Heung-min scored his 42nd goal for the national team in a match that ended in a draw against Jordan. Meanwhile, Malaysia made lineup changes in their second game, and Syihan Hazmi faced difficulties, conceding five goals in two group fixtures. Captain Matthew Davies is on the brink of reaching 50 caps.
