📰 Interim coach Roberto Moreno congratulated Lee Min-sung's side on their Asian Games gold medal on social media, and three days later the senior national team beat Uzbekistan to wrap up their October schedule. 📌 Key points 🥇 The U-23 team beat Japan 1-0 in the final. 🏆 It is the first-ever fourth consecutive Asian Games men's football gold. 📱 Moreno wrote "Go Korea!" (대한민국 화이팅) in Korean. 🧢 Wildcards Lee Ki-hyuk, Eom Ji-sung and Yang Hyun-jun are being tipped as senior team candidates. ⚽ Moreno's side beat Uzbekistan 2-0 on the 6th to finish the four-match run. 📝 What happened 📱 According to Goal, Moreno posted a picture of himself watching the final on TV with the words "Go Korea!" in Korean, and after the win sent his congratulations to the players and coaching staff in Spanish. ⚽ Coach Lee Min-sung's U-23 side beat Japan 1-0 in the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games final at Toyota Stadium in Japan on the 3rd, through Eom Ji-sung's goal in the 61st minute. 🧢 The wildcards with World Cup experience — Lee Ki-hyuk, Eom Ji-sung and Yang Hyun-jun — are seen as players who could be named for the November international camp. 🏆 Moreno's side beat Uzbekistan 2-0 at Yongin Mireu Stadium on the 6th. Son Heung-min scored an early free-kick for his 59th international goal, the Korean men's record, and Oh Se-hun added a header in the second half. After a 3-0 win over Ecuador, a 1-4 defeat to Uruguay and a 0-0 draw with Venezuela, that completed the four-match run with two wins, a draw and a defeat. 📊 By the numbers • Asian Games final: Korea 1-0 Japan • v Uzbekistan: Korea won 2-0 (Son Heung-min's 59th international goal) • Moreno's record: W2 D1 L1 (3-0, 1-4, 0-0, 2-0) • Moreno's contract: until 27 November, six games in charge in total 🔭 Why it matters Appointed on 1 September after Hong Myung-bo's resignation, Moreno now has just two November internationals left, and will be assessed for the permanent job including those results. The win over Uzbekistan has bought some breathing space, but together with whether the gold-medal generation earn senior call-ups, the November camp looks set to be the final test for Moreno's side.
