Shortly after, in the 13th minute of the first half, Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain) scored an additional goal from a penalty kick, pushing South Korea into a 0-2 deficit.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Raphinha (Barcelona) broke through the right flank, bypassed the South Korean defenders, and delivered a low cross to Vinicius on the left side, who immediately found the back of the South Korean net.

In the 10th minute of the first half, South Korea launched a counterattack, but during a defensive play inside the penalty area, Jeong Woo-young (Al Sadd) was fouled by Richarlison (Tottenham), resulting in a penalty kick. Neymar calmly converted the penalty, shaking South Korea's goal net.
