The South Korean men's under-21 (U-21) national football team, aiming for a berth in the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics, has concluded its away friendly matches in Australia with one win and one draw.

Led by Head Coach Kim Eun-jung, the South Korean team drew 2-2 in the second friendly match against Australia held today (October 6) at Polytec Stadium in Gosford, New South Wales, Australia.

According to the Korea Football Association (KFA), South Korea took the lead with consecutive goals by Sung Ye-geon in the 12th minute of the first half and Kim Ye-geon in the 36th minute of the first half.

However, they subsequently conceded two goals to Australia, ending the match in a draw.

This two-match series took place during the team's third training camp and first overseas away trip since Head Coach Kim Eun-jung took the helm last May.

Having won the first match against Australia 2-1 on October 3 at the same venue with consecutive goals from Ha Jung-woo and Yoon Do-young, the national team finished its Australia away schedule with one win and one draw.
