South Korea vs Uzbekistan: Moreno's interim reign tested

South Korea plays Uzbekistan on Tuesday in their final match before club football resumes. The South Korean team is currently managed by interim coach Robert Moreno, who has overseen one win, one draw, and one loss during his tenure. This match is part of Moreno's six-game contract.

Uzbekistan, guided by Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro, has secured recent victories against Iran and Syria, scoring seven goals across these games. Despite this form, they have struggled to keep clean sheets, failing to do so in their last seven matches.

Historically, South Korea has a strong record against Uzbekistan, having not lost in their previous nine encounters. Son Heung-min is expected to captain South Korea and is close to becoming their all-time leading scorer.

Both teams have been rotating squads during the international break, and no new injuries have been reported. The match is anticipated to be closely contested, with a draw being a likely outcome.
