On Friday, Korea played Venezuela to a goalless draw, marking their third match under interim manager Robert Moreno. The game took place at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan, located about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
Korea managed to attempt their first shot late in the first half at the stadium. Although there were promising moments in the second half, including a last-gasp attempt by winger Lee Dong-gyeong during stoppage time, Korea ultimately failed to score.
Moreno started his tenure with Korea by leading them to a 3-0 victory over Ecuador on September 24. However, they suffered a 4-1 loss to Uruguay four days later. The team will conclude their September-October match schedule by hosting Uzbekistan on Tuesday at Yongin Mireu Stadium in Yongin, approximately 40 kilometers south of the capital city.
Moreno and his staff are contracted to remain with the Korean Football Association until the end of November. They have two more matches lined up next month. According to the KFA, Moreno will be given the opportunity to continue leading Korea at the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup in January next year in Saudi Arabia. The decision regarding Moreno's future will depend on Korea's performance in his first six matches in charge.
