South Korea Vs Paraguay LIVE Score, International Friendly 2025: Eom’s Goal The Difference In Tactical Half, KOR 1-0 PRY

The opening half was a cautious, tactical battle with few clear chances. South Korea took the lead early through Eom Ji-sung’s opportunistic goal in the 15th minute, and since then both sides have settled into a measured rhythm. Paraguay struggled to find creativity or rhythm to challenge the disciplined Korean defence, making it a half defined more by strategy than fireworks. The game remains finely balanced as we head into the second half.

South Korea hold a slender lead as Paraguay presses hard, but Korea’s defence stays solid, snuffing out dangerous crosses. On the break, Korea remain sharp, threatening to double their advantage. The game’s tight and tense as both teams push for a breakthrough before halftime.

Thirty minutes in, and South Korea are still holding on to their slender lead thanks to Eom Ji-sung’s early strike. Paraguay are pushing hard to find a way back into the game, probing the Korean defence with a few threatening runs, but the home side remain disciplined and organized at the back.

It’s a scrappy one, but they all count! A sharp attacking move sees a Korean pass deflect off a Paraguayan defender, but instead of clearing the danger, the ball ricochets perfectly into the path of Eom Ji-sung, who finds himself clean through. With the keeper caught off guard, he makes no mistake, a calm, composed finish into the bottom corner!
