Fresh off a comfortable win over Trinidad and Tobago, Korea will try to keep building momentum ahead of the FIFA World Cup in their final tuneup against El Salvador.
World No. 25 Korea will take on 100th-ranked El Salvador at BYU South Field in Provo, Utah, at 7 p.m. Wednesday (local time), or 10 a.m. Thursday (Korean time).
Korea cruised to a 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday at the same venue on the campus of Brigham Young University. Captain Son Heung-min netted twice in the first half of that win, and his replacement in the second half, Cho Gue-sung, also grabbed a brace. Hwang Hee-chan scored a second-half penalty to join the fun.
Defender Lee Gi-hyuk also impressed in just his second international match, making sharp passes from the back and jumping into the attack with the confidence of a seasoned veteran.
