The Korean U-17 (Under 17) World Cup team failed to get past the powerhouse France, and a red light came on to advance to the round of 16.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Byun Seong-hwan, lost 0-1 to France in the second match of Group E of the 2023 Indonesia U-17 World Cup held at the International Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 15th. Korea, who conceded a goal to Matisse Amugu just two minutes into the game, was unable to score a compensating goal and suffered their second loss. For Korea, it was unfortunate that Jin Tae-ho’s shot hit the goalpost in the 12th minute of the second half. Korea hit the goalpost twice in the first game against the United States, and the decisive shot hit the goalpost on this day as well.
In the previous game, the United States defeated Burkina Faso 2-1. With both France and the United States recording two wins, France (+4), ahead in goal difference, is in first place, and the United States (+3) is in second place.
Korea (-3) lost all two games and remained at 0 points alongside Burkina Faso (-4), but finished 3rd in the group, 1 point ahead of goal difference.
Korea must achieve a multiple-goal victory against Burkina Faso in the third and final game on the 18th to keep the hope of advancing to the round of 16 alive. In this tournament, the two countries ranked 1st and 2nd in each group and the 4 countries with the best results among the 3rd place will advance to the round of 16.
