61
Abu Layla seems to have picked up an injury, judging by everything. Medical staff came out to the Jordan goalkeeper. Who knows, maybe the nominal hosts are starting to employ some minor football tricks?

56
Cho Kyu-sung A substitution for South Korea. Cho Kyu-sung came on, replacing Hwang In-beom.

So far, a challenging match for both teams. Surprisingly, Jordan took the initiative from the start, and it took some time for South Korea to settle into this semifinal. It seemed that Klinsmann’s charges managed to take control in the second half of the period, but Jordan retaliated with a couple of dangerous counterattacks. The second half will be very interesting; everyone wants to reach the final! Let’s take a break for now.

Wow! How did Hwang In-beom miss that? A very dangerous attack by South Korea at the end, Seol Yun-woo delivered a cross from the left flank to the center, and no one was blocking Beom!
