As a result, Korea earned 3 points (1 win) and became tied for first place with Japan (1 win), which previously defeated China (1 loss) 1-0.

This competition also serves as an Asian qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics. A total of 16 teams will participate in this competition, and the top three teams will receive tickets to the finals. The 4th place team will compete with Guinea in Africa to advance to the finals through a playoff.

Starting with the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Korea has made it to the finals for nine consecutive times until the 2020 Tokyo Games. This is a world record for the most consecutive Olympic appearances.

Korea, aiming to advance to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time, had an advantage over the UAE in terms of possession with 70 to 30, and overwhelmed the UAE with 16 shots, which had only 3. However, there were frustrating scenes, such as hitting the goal post once and scoring twice during 90 minutes of regular time, which was canceled by video review (VAR).

However, after continuing the attack without giving up until the end, they won with Lee Young-jun's header goal in extra time in the second half. Korea took the lead from the beginning of the game by increasing possession of the ball and attacking from the side, but rarely scored a goal. In the 13th minute of the first half, Lee Kang-hee hit a powerful right-footed shot that was blocked by the goalkeeper. Five minutes later, Hwang Jae-won's left-footed shot hit the goalpost. In the ensuing attack, Korea's Kang Sang-yoon delivered a low, quick cross from the right flank and Ahn Jae-jun changed the direction with his heel, hitting the UAE net. However, as a result of VAR, Kang Sang-yoon was declared offside and the goal was cancelled. In the 41st minute of the first half, Baek Sang-hoon's left-footed mid-range shot went straight at the goalkeeper. Afterwards, Korea continued to lead the game by increasing possession of the ball, but the accuracy of the final cross and pass was poor, and the first half ended without a score. Korea, which was unable to score a goal despite leading the game, changed its attack at the start of the second half by bringing in Lee Young-jun, who has good air superiority, and Kang Seong-jin, who has outstanding dribbling ability. Even after the introduction of new players, Korea dominated the game, but no goals were scored, with Lee Kang-hee's header in the 10th minute of the second half and Uhm Ji-seong's header in the 22nd minute of the second half just missing the goal post. As no goals continued, coach Hwang Seon-hong replaced Um Ji-seong and replaced Hong Yun-sang in the 27th minute of the second half. But the situation did not change. Korea led the game, but lacked precision in front of goal. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Kang Seong-jin hit the UAE net with his head, but the goal was once again canceled due to offside. Korea, which continued to push despite the frustrating flow, succeeded in scoring the long-awaited goal in extra time in the second half. In the 49th minute of the second half, in a corner kick situation, Lee Tae-seok accurately crossed the ball, and Lee Young-jun jumped up and headed it, shaking the UAE net. Afterwards, Korea continued to attack actively and attempted to score additional points, but ended the game with a 1-goal victory. Korea will play the second group match against China at 10 p.m. on the 19th.  슬롯사이트
