South Korea Defeats Cameroon 1-0 in Tune-up Match: Game highlights
True to his reputation, Son Heung-min made the first and only goal of the match 35 minutes into the game. However, many attribute his goal to a lot of luck and some skill. This is because he was in the right position at the right time. While Cameroon goalkeeper was able to deflect a shot from Kim Jin-sui, the ball went right in front of Son. Son Heung-min of course took advantage of it with a header that went pass Andre Onana for a goal.
For online sports betting fans, the true highlight of this game was the new Korean starting line-up by Coach Bento. This is because they were 5 new players to his usual starting line-up including Son Jun-ho. In fact, he was a central figure in the new-look South Korean attack strategy by Bento.
Son Jun-ho who plays as a defensive midfielder was basically the field general for Bento’s new formation. Basically, he held the back position while center backs Kim Min-jae and Kwon Kyung-won for a back-three formation.
In turn it let fullbacks Kim Jin-su and Kim Moon-hwan free to roam into the attacking zone. Therefore, this new formation is what made it possible for Son Heung-min to sore early in the game.
Overall, coach Bento was happy with the effort of his players and of course, the win.
