Possession anchor from the back

K. Min-jae dominated ball distribution with 103 accurate passes and 127 touches, controlling tempo from deep. His high volume and accuracy allowed South Korea to dictate play and transition smoothly through midfield.

Midfield creativity despite limited chances

H. In-beom created two key passes despite registering zero expected assists, finding dangerous passing lanes. He proved effective at generating attacking opportunities through vision rather than high-quality buildup play.

Defensive tirelessness in the middle

I. Bayesh made 12 combined defensive actions including tackles, interceptions, recoveries, and clearances. His work rate disrupted Iraq's shape and prevented opposition buildup play from gaining momentum.

Immediate attacking threat off bench

B. Jun-Ho produced one key pass in just 59 minutes off the bench, matching his xA of zero. His fresh impact provided South Korea a creative spark during a crucial substitute appearance.
