Prediction: 1-1
Peru
South Korea and Peru go head to head at Busan Asiad Main Stadium (Busan) in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Friday’s program. The Koreans aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Uruguay and they are seen as favourites to beat La Blanquirroja in front of home fans. The likes of Hong Hyun-seok, An Hyun-beom, and Park Kyu-hyun are the new names in Jurgen Klinsmann’s team, but, as always, the opposition back-line should have Spurs superstar Heung-Min Son at bay.
The Peruvians, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Morocco. Considering that the visitors managed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four friendly games, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. When the two teams met in a warm-up game ten years ago they played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Peru):
Peru national team has been competing at the international stage since 1927 when they played their first ever match against Uruguay. Over the course of their history, La Blanquirroja have formed long-standing rivalries with Chile and Ecuador while 1970s brought the team a worldwide recognition during the period that is to this date considered the most successful in Peruvian football.
Teofilo Cubillas, the team’s top scorer with 26 goals to his name is considered Peru’s greatest player helped the team qualify for three World Cups and win the Copa America in 1975. Peru are the two-time champion of the tournament, who came close to lifting the Copa America trophy again in recent years, finishing third in 2011 and 2015 respectively.
La Blanquirroja are managed by Ricardo Gareca commonly referred to as the Tiger who will lead his team to 2016 Copa America Centenario looking to win Peru its first trophy at a major tournament since 1982.
