FIFA World Cup 26™: What to look out for in South Africa v Korea Republic 🇿🇦🇰🇷 | OneFootball

Monterrey Stadium will stage South Africa and Korea Republic's final FIFA World Cup 26™ Group A match.

Here is what to expect from the match in Mexico.

Who is playing today? 👀

Everything is still to play for for both South Africa and Korea Republic as they prepare for what could be their final World Cup™ match.

South Africa have lost one and drawn one of their opening matches, meaning they must beat Korea Republic to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Korea Republic, on the other hand, remain the favourites to finish second behind Mexico in Group A, and a draw would be enough to secure progression. However, if they were to lose to South Africa and Czechia were to defeat Mexico, they would finish fourth and be eliminated.

Players to watch 🔥

Midfielder Teboho Mokoena has scored South Africa's only goal of the tournament so far, converting a late penalty against Czechia last time out and bagging himself an Attacking Influence score of 6.7.

Despite lacking end product, there is still time for the likes of Iqraam Rayners, Lyle Foster and Thapelo Maseko to make their mark too.

For Korea Republic, there is little doubt that Son Heung-min remains their most important and influential player. He is yet to score at this tournament, but scored 5.5 for his Creative Influence against Mexico.

Elsewhere, Hwang In-beom put in a Player of the Match performance against Czechia in their opening game, while the likes of Lee Kang-in and Oh Hyeon-gyu have also impressed.
