    The Korean national soccer team will play the second round of World Cup Group H against Ghana in Africa at 10:00 pm on the 28th.

    The Korean national team, which drew 0-0 in the first match against strong Uruguay, needs to win today to gain an advantage in advancing to the round of 16.

    In the FIFA rankings, South Korea is 28th and Ghana is 61st, and Ghana is the lowest among the 32 countries that have qualified for the World Cup in Qatar.

    However, Ghana threatened the opponent until the end even though they lost 2-3 to Portugal in the first match of the group stage, and their record against Korea is also tight with 3 wins and 3 losses.

    Furthermore, striker Hwang Hee-chan of the Korean national team cannot play in the second game today due to a hamstring injury, and it is unclear whether key defender Kim Min-jae will play.

    Portugal and Uruguay in the same group (H) will play tomorrow (29th) at 4 am.

    After defeating Ghana in the first round of the group stage, Portugal can secure a ticket to the round of 16 by beating Uruguay as well.

    Uruguay, which defeated Portugal four years ago at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, will challenge Qatar for its first win, just like Korea.

    Prior to this, Group G’s Cameroon and Serbia will face off against each other today at 7pm.

    The two teams, who lost side by side in the first leg of the group stage, cannot look forward to the round of 16 without a win in the second leg.

    Brazil and Switzerland in the same group (Group G) will play at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow.
    Aiming for `confirmation of advancing to the round of 16`.

    Both teams won the first leg, but Brazil’s star player Neymar and defender Danilo were injured and could not play against Switzerland.
