A defensive mistake that resulted in a reverse goal due to shots that missed the goal several times.
Son Heung-min’s play against Costa Rica was actually disappointing compared to the fans’ great expectations.

“In the case of a second run, I think I said a lot to the players that I was sorry because it was my mistake.”
Still, the solver’s instinct was still alive.
41 minutes in the second half after a 1-2 lead.
He saved the national team from defeat by scoring a dramatic free-kick equalizer.
The bullet-like speed that frozen the goalkeeper in the shooting trajectory that exquisitely crossed the defensive wall.
Son Heung-min, who operated a fantastic scorer that made fans enthusiastic, tied for 1st place with Ha Seok-joo in the most free-kick goals in Korea’s A match.
“I think I’ve been concentrating for a long time. Looking at the direction the ball is going, I think I’ve been thinking ‘I feel like I’m in’.”
However, it was a 2-2 draw where both the process and the result were unsatisfactory for both themselves and the team as a whole.
Son Heung-min, who even omitted the characteristic goal ceremony, promised a performance worthy of the World Cup stage against Cameroon three days later.
“It’s really the last game going to the World Cup, so I’ll try my best to show a better performance, and I’ll do my best to bring the result, so I’d appreciate your support.”
Meanwhile, in the World Cup, Ghana, who belongs to the same group as us, suffered a 3-0 loss in the evaluation match against Brazil, and Uruguay also struggled with Iran’s dense defense and lost 1-0.
