  "summary": "South Korea secured a 2-0 victory over Uzbekistan, marking their second win under interim coach Robert Moreno. The match, which took place at Yongin Mireu Stadium, saw captain Son Heung-min score a record-setting 59th goal off a free kick in the sixth minute, making him the country's all-time male leading scorer.\n\nThe Taegeuk Warriors fought off a determined Uzbekistan side that controlled the match for long stretches at a time. Substitute Oh Se-hun scored the second goal for South Korea in the second half. According to The Korea Times, this win wraps up their September-October FIFA match window with two wins, one draw, and one loss.\n\nSouth Korea will next play two matches during the November 9-17 window. Prior to the Uzbekistan match, Bayern's Kim Min-jae was left out of the South Korea squad due to fatigue, having missed team training for two days and instead working indoors on his recovery.",
