Guadalupe, Mexico — Head coach Hong Myung-bo inserted Oh Hyeon-gyu into the forward spot for the final group stage match against South Africa at Estadio Monterrey. Son had started the previous two matches but was substituted in both without scoring.
South Korea can advance to the knockout stage with a win or draw. They may also advance as a third-place team if they lose, provided Czechia do not beat Mexico.
