South Korea have shown why they’re one of Asia’s most dangerous sides, crushing the Czech Republic in their opening World Cup 2026 match in Guadalajara and coming agonizingly close to a qualification-clinching result against co-hosts Mexico. If not for a late error from goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu, the Taeguk Warriors would have been sitting at the top of the table.
Hong Myung-bo’s side can set things right with a win, or even a draw, over South Africa. A loss, however, would leave their qualification hopes dependent on the result of Czechia vs Mexico. For South Africa, meanwhile, only a victory will keep their campaign alive. Currently ranked 61st in the world, Bafana Bafana have had a disappointing tournament so far, losing 2-0 to Mexico before a 1-1 draw against Czechia, saved only by a late penalty.
South Africa boss Hugo Broos will have to tweak his lineup as Teboho Mokoena – their only scorer of the tournament – is suspended after picking up his second yellow card against Czechia. However, Sphephelo Sithole is expected to return to the starting XI after serving his suspension following a red card in the opening game. South Korea, on the other hand, will once again rely on the likes of Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang In-beom to extend their stay in North America.
