In a friendly match, South Korea and Peru will face off on Friday at Busan Asiad Stadium.
The hosts, who advanced to the World Cup’s last 16 last year, have appointed former Bayern Munich manager Jurgen Klinsmann as their new manager, despite the fact that they have yet to come to life under the German. In their most recent match, they lost 2-1 to Uruguay, and they may feel that they deserved more after controlling possession.
Under Klinsmann, Korean Republic has not won a game and will be looking to break that streak this weekend. After failing to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, Juan Maximo Reynoso has assumed leadership of Peru as well. In their most recent match, they played Morocco to a scoreless draw and may have been lucky not to lose because they didn’t make a single shot on goal.
