South Korea Faces Tight Test Against El Salvador After 5-0 Trinidad Win

South Korea arrived at America First Field after a convincing 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, aiming to fine‑tune their World Cup preparations. The match against El Salvador proved far more contested, with the Central American side forcing Korea to work for every ball.

Tottenham forward Son Heung‑min entered in the second half to avoid injury risk, but could not extend the lead. Korea dominated possession throughout, yet El Salvador's disciplined defense kept the game close.

Coach Javier Aguirre praised the effort as a positive sign ahead of the tournament.
