South Korea enter this clash at Daejeon World Cup Stadium off the back of an unbeaten third round in World Cup Qualifiers, aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Paraguay after a heavy 5-0 loss to Brazil. Coach Hong Myung-bo will use the match to test combinations and fine-tune preparations for next year’s tournament.

Bolivia, who stunned Brazil to secure the inter-confederation playoff spot, arrive with confidence under Oscar Villegas but have never beaten South Korea in three meetings and are yet to score against them, making the hosts strong favourites.

The pre-match formalities are done. The crowd are out in full force at Daejeon, and the South Korean side get tonight's friendly match underway. Stay tuned!

A massive chance early on for Jae-sung Lee. A corner is floated in which finds the attacker completely unmarked in the box. However, his diving header is saved by the goalkeeper and cleared by the defence.

South Korea have bossed the stats so far, enjoying three-fourths of the ball as well as having two shots, compared to Bolivia's none. The visitors, however, are trying to push ahead. A free-kick from near the middle of the park is floated in dangerously, but the Korean defence clear somehow.

Big chance denied. Enzo Monteiro cuts in from the left and fires a low right-footer, but Kim Seung-Gyu stands firm in the middle of the goal to push it away. Nice setup by Fernando Nava.

Bolivia go close again. Enzo Monteiro tries his luck from a tight angle on the left, but his right-footed effort flies high over the bar. Smart pick-out from Gabriel Villamíl.

Saved again. Enzo Monteiro lets fly with a right-footer from outside the box, but the keeper gets behind it cleanly to make a comfortable save.

The first half wraps up with the score locked at Korea Republic 0–0 Bolivia. Both sides created moments, but neither could find the breakthrough.

We're back for the second half and are also hopeful to see some exciting goals from both teams.

Lee Kang-In lets fly with a left-footer from outside the box, but the shot is shut down by a defender. Won Du-Jae did well to set it up.

Son Heung-Min curls a brilliant right-footed free-kick into the top-left corner, leaving the keeper rooted. A moment of pure class breaks the deadlock.

Kim Moon-Hwan rises well to meet Son Heung-Min’s corner with a firm header, but it flashes past the left post. A big chance goes begging.

Bae Jun-Ho turns in the box and strikes with his right foot, but the shot is smothered by the defense. Kim Jin-Gyu’s setup deserved more.

Bolivia freshen things up as John García comes on for Gabriel Villamíl, followed moments later by Yomar Rocha replacing Fernando Nava. They'll be hoping the new legs can spark a late push.

Game sealed. Cho Gue-Sung pounces from close range, guiding a left-footed finish into the center of the net. A well-taken effort makes it 2–0, putting the result beyond doubt.

The match comes to an end with a solid 2-0 victory for the hosts. A composed finish to a dominant second half wraps things up.
