The win marks South Korea's third consecutive victory under new manager Hong Myung-bo, bringing them closer to their 11th consecutive World Cup appearance.

Striker Oh Se-hun (Machida Zelvia) opened the scoring, followed by a second-half goal from his replacement, Oh Hyeon-gyu (Genk). Midfielder Lee Jae-sung (Mainz) sealed the win with the third and final goal.
