Two teams who have each been beyond the Round of 16 at the finals on only one previous occasion apiece meet in search of their first wins of the tournament, as South Korea play Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Paulo Bento’s side, who finished fourth at the 2002 finals, began with a useful 0-0 draw against strong opponents in Uruguay but are still seeking their first shot on target in Group H, with captain Son Heung-min their key threat but still getting used to wearing a protective face mask.
The 2010 quarterfinalists Ghana impressed in a thriller against Portugal, pushing the more experienced team all the way in a 3-2 defeat that belied what is largely a youthful and inexperienced squad at Otto Addo’s disposal.

South Korea vs. Ghana live updates, highlights from 2022 World Cup
18th min: Two more corners for South Korea, their sixth and seventh of the game. Cho Gue-sung gets the slightest of flicks onto the first one, which hits Mohammed Salisu’s shoulder before Ghana clear. Son’s second set-piece is headed clear by Gideon Mensah.
13th min: It’s all South Korea in these opening stages. Son Heung-min forces their fifth corner already, but it comes to nothing. Ghana are penned inside their own half but Jordan Ayew does well to nick the ball and win a relieving free-kick. The Black Stars have plenty of support.

8th min: Another half-chance for South Korea as Jeong Woo-yeong gets himself into a shooting position but Brighton’s Tariq Lamptey does well to get a block in.

1st min: South Korea kick off. We’re underway.
5 mins from kickoff: It’s time for the anthems. South Korea first…and now Ghana. Kickoff won’t be long…

1 hr 25 from kickoff: A couple of stats for you…
– This will be the first meeting between the two sides since 2014 when Ghana ran out as easy 4-0 winners in a friendly.
– Interestingly, South Korea have scored exactly two goals in all three of their prior World Cup matches vs. African opposition.
– Ghana are winless across their past five World Cup outings after their 3-2 loss to Portugal on matchday one.
1 hr 55 from kickoff: Ghana coach Otto Addo knows all too well about the threat Son Heung-min can cause his team and he’ll reunite against him today, having previously coached the South Korea forward at youth level.
Addo was working for German club Hamburg when he first encountered Son, who he recommended for the first team.
“He’s very, very disciplined,” he said. “This is what I hoped for, and I expected it.”
