Even the French Ligue 1 is mesmerized by Lee Kang-in’s performance.
Jürgen Klinsmann’s South Korea national soccer team cruised to a 5-0 victory over Singapore in the first match of Group C of the second Asian qualifying round for the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Saturday.
The first step towards the 2026 World Cup. With a clear objective power differential, a dominant South Korean victory was expected. In fact, the team played almost a half-court game, as if to show off their superiority. In the first half, they were held back by their opponent’s tight defense and were unable to create much of anything, but a late goal from Cho Kyu-sung gave them the lead and allowed them to go into halftime with the lead. 토토사이트
The second half was a goal-fest. Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the second half, before Son Heung-min, Hwang Eui-jo, and Lee Kang-in added to the scoreline to make it 5-0. There were times when their backline was exposed by counterattacks, but they were able to keep a clean sheet with a solid defense led by Kim Min-jae.
Lee Kang-in has become a key part of the Korean team at a young age, and this game was another testament to his immense talent. Forming a midfield with Hwang In-beom and Lee Jae-sung, Lee led the team’s attack with his playmaking and kicking ability. He assisted Cho Kyu-sung’s goal with a great pass at the end of the first half and rattled Singapore’s goal with a powerful left-footed shot in the second half.
The French league was pleased with his performance. “Lee Kang-in is back!” the French Ligue 1 tweeted on their official account before the game, and they were excited to see him in action. After the game, Lee put in a stellar performance, and Ligue 1 highlighted him once again. They raved, “This man is a complete talent!” and added, “Lee Kang-in is soaring at club and national team level. He has one goal and one assist in a Korean jersey.” 무지개토토
Lee joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season. With the club’s ultra-luxury squad, competition for a starting spot was expected to be tough, but Lee quickly integrated into the team. He showed great chemistry with Neymar in preseason and is now the perfect complement to Kylian Mbappe to lead the team’s attack. Despite a lengthy absence due to injury and international duty, his place in the team is still solid and he has two goals and one assist in nine games so far, including cup competitions.
