"I Should Have Done More..." Oh Hyeon-gyu Reflects on Responsibility After Defeat... Post-Mexico Match Interview

The national football team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat against the host nation, Mexico, in their second Group A match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

In the 5th minute of the second half, a mix-up between goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu and defender Lee Ki-hyuk left the ball loose, allowing Luis Romo to tap it into the empty net for the winning goal.

With one win and one loss, South Korea remains in second place in the group with 3 points, but it is now impossible for them to reach the top spot even with a victory in the final match.

While Mexico has secured first place in the group with two consecutive wins, South Korea will now aim to defend its second-place position in the final group stage match against South Africa.

We bring you the post-match interview with Oh Hyeon-gyu via [Sports Mug].
