The national football team, led by coach Paulo Bento, defeated Iceland 5-1 in the evaluation match held at Mardan Stadium in Antalya, Turkey on the 15th.

The national team’s first game of the new year, the evaluation match, is an inspection stage prepared ahead of the two consecutive World Cup Asian final qualifier away matches against Lebanon on the 27th and Syria on February 1.

Since the match against Moldova on the 21st is not the FIFA A Match Day period, Bentuho is training with 25 K-League players excluding goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu (Kashiwa Reysol) out of 26.

Among them, the two evaluation matches are held in the midst of the absence of Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Hwang Ui-jo (Bordeaux), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Hwang In-beom (Kazan), and Kim Min-jae (Fenerbahce). It was an opportunity to

As there is a possibility that injured Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan may not be able to operate in this final qualifying round, it was especially meaningful on the offensive side to check ‘Plan B’ in preparation for the upcoming games, and there was a clear result in this area.

With Jo Gyu-seong (Gimcheon) at the forefront, Song Min-gyu (Jeonbuk), Lee Dong-kyung (Ulsan), Kwon Chang-hoon (Gimcheon) in the second line, and Kim Jin-gyu (Busan) and Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk) in the middle, Bentuho scored three goals in the first half alone and the atmosphere led the

In the 15th minute of the first half, Jo Kyu-seong’s opening goal followed Kim Jin-gyu’s exquisite pass, and in the 27th minute, the winning goal was jointly played by Lee Dong-kyung and Kwon Chang-hoon, and Bentuho took care of both the process and the result.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Baek Seung-ho’s mid-range shot was an outstanding goal, but it was because Song Min-gyu, who also plays with his team, calmly pulled it out.

Although kicker Chang-Hoon Kwon missed a loss, the scene where Jo Kyu-Sung got a penalty kick in the 24th minute of the first half was also outstanding with Baek Seung-ho, who pierced the ball.

It is true that Iceland is ranked 62nd in the FIFA rankings, lower than Korea (33rd), and it is true that Iceland showed skills that did not match the title of a team that caused a sensation at the 2016 European Championships and the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but Bentuho’s performance was great in itself.

Even when spending the remainder of the first half after taking a three-goal lead, the national team, which played the “dominant game” that coach Bento pursues with stable operation, showed a cluttered appearance while replacing several players in the second half.

In the second half, coach Bento started with Kwon Chang-hoon, Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan), and Kim Jin-su (Jeonbuk), and replaced Lee Young-jae, Jeong Seung-hyeon (Gimcheon), and Hong-cheol (Daegu). gave it away

However, after that, the national team did not slow the offensive by using Kang Sang-woo (Pohang), Kim Kun-hee (Suwon), and Um Ji-seong (Gwangju) as additional substitution cards, and Kim Jin-gyu in the 28th minute of the second half and Uhm Ji-seong in the 41st minute of the second half enjoyed their A match debut goal one after another. The game ended happily.

Kim Jin-gyu, who made his debut in the A match, moved mainly up to an aggressive position and recorded 1 goal and 1 assist, igniting the midfield competition, while Baek Seung-ho and Jo Kyu-seong scored their debut goals in the 5th A match. The presence of ‘blood’ was a particularly brilliant one.

Uhm Ji-sung, born in 2002, also scored his debut goal in his debut match, making his name clear.

Korea, which scored 5 goals by pouring 19 shots, including 11 on target, overtook Iceland with only 3 shots (1 shot on target), the record for winning the most goal difference (4 goals) against a European country also left
