Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 9:06 AM ESTSecond half... CHECKWe're back under way at Education City Stadium. No half-time changes in personnel for either side. Quick shout for Napoli's Uruguay right-back Mathias Olivera, who created two of the game's six chances in that first half. Let's see if he can help make something happen in this second 45. Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 8:52 AM ESTFelipe has enjoyed it tooThe more technical Koreans have the majority of possession, but Uruguay have had two clear chances to take the lead tonight.
They have been one pass away from the opening goal a few times now. Matt Slater·Football WriterNovember 24, 2022 at 9:23 AM ESTChanges for Uruguay (64)Uruguay blink first. Luis Suarez is withdrawn and Edinson Canavi comes on to appear in his fourth World Cup (see post just before kick-off). We've now had as many substitutions as we've had bookings. And shots on target. Don't tell me this game isn't keeping you invested... Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 9:20 AM ESTWait for the social clips...

Sad news. Olivera did not add to those two chances created in the first half. Sorry everyone. I'm trying to talk something up, honest. Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 9:34 AM ESTKorea's turn for a change or three (74)Korean make their first substitutions - and they do it as a triple change. Cho Gue-sung, Son Jun-ho and Lee Kang-in come on in place of Lee Jae-sung, Na Sang-ho and Hwang Ui-jo, who missed that great chance in the first half. Let's see if the changes have an impact.
Nunez scuffed a chance in front of goal and defender Diego Godin’s header in the 44 minute banged off the post. It’s been an entertaining first 45 minutes of football. Both sides will feel as if the match is playing exactly as they scripted. Two very different styles are clashing in the first match of Group H.

Felipe Cardenas·Staff Writer, MLSNovember 24, 2022 at 8:49 AM ESTHALF TIME: Uruguay 0-0 South Korea And that's the break. We opted for the label 'tactically intriguing' quite early on, here in Athletic Towers. Two very different styles certainly making for a fun watch, even while it's goalless. Korea will feel they should have scored with that Hwang Ui-jo chance. Uruguay will feel unlucky that Godin's header didn't ricochet into the net. Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 8:45 AM ESTGodin hits the post! (43)Half time is almost here and it had looked like Uruguay were wishing for its arrival ASAP. Then they get a corner, where captain Diego Godin heads against the inside of the foot of the post, only for the ball to head back into play.

Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 9:28 AM ESTOh, hello Edinson (69)Edinson Canavi just produced a touch, turn, burst of pace and shot inside the penalty area that has stood out like a sore thumb in this second half. Korea still defending the 18-yard box well, and the snuffled that shot quickly too. But that's a nice glimpse of what could yet break this game out of its current stalemate. Michael Bailey·Norwich City CorrespondentNovember 24, 2022 at 9:25 AM ESTDoubling down on the 'tactically intriguing' tagline Cracking game, this. I'm probably not telling you anything you cannot see with your own eyes but these are two evenly-matched sides. Korea still seem to be edging it in terms of territory/possession but this isn't rugby and Uruguay are making the better openings.
