World Cup 2022: It's very unfortunate to lose to Ghana - South Korea's Lee Kang-in

Published on: 29 November 2022

South Korea midfielder Lee Kang-in has expressed his disappointment following their 3-2 defeat to Ghana in their second group game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Monday.

Black Stars took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Mohammed Salisu and Kudus but two stunning headers in three minutes from Cho Gue-sung levelled the game after 61 minutes.

Kudus added a final twist when he thumped in a third for Ghana to break South Korea's hearts.

"I think it's very unfortunate that players talk about results," Kang-in said after the game.

"When I was put in, coach Paulo Bento always asked for an aggressive play and a goal-and-goal play."

"If the opportunity comes again, I will do my best to help the team and win. All other players and coaching staff will do their best to prepare."

The defeat leaves South Korea 3rd in Group H and must beat Portugal to stand any chance of progressing to the round of 16.
