00:04Spencer Linton pitch side Spencer
00:05Yeah, Greg, you were just talking about this unique crowd intimate setting to say the least
00:093500 tickets total sold no standing room only and when I arrived there's a huge contingent of
00:16South Korean people just waiting
00:18They didn't have tickets to the game. They just wanted to see the team get off the bus
00:23I mean, that's that's the type of excitement that is here and and that the Korean team has been feeling
00:28they've been
00:28They've been very appreciative of the support that has shown up even though the numbers tickets wise are a little
00:33bit smaller than certainly
00:34They're going to be dealing with in the World Cup. Yeah, the numbers may not be there, but the energy
00:38and the passion
00:40Certainly there tonight and we'll be again next week. It's been a very fun experience
00:46Really an honor to be involved with
00:49This caliber of soccer at this level with these kinds of players and their resumes and a very unique scenario
00:55RSL has a beautiful stadium up the road
00:58But the decision to be played here on BYU's campus here at Southfield and what is known as one of
01:04the better
01:05Probably one of the best collegiate environments for women's soccer
01:09Jen Rockwood done incredible things through her career here having hosted some massive games and it's fun to see a
01:15World Cup qualifier here
01:16The target is Cho Kyu Sung. Just skipped past him. Yes, perennially
01:19World Cups, so he's got Rockwood's a BYU women's soccer team is a national attendance leader at this venue
01:25Doesn't get much better for collegiate soccer and it plays pretty well as a pro venue tonight too as we're
01:30seeing and you've seen some of the beautiful shots back towards
01:33Tipanogus the drone shots that our production crew has and they've done a phenomenal job showing you some of the
01:39sights of broke at that you're seeing another shot there
01:43What a night here along the Wasatch front after a rainy day Friday and some more rain earlier today
01:50the clouds
01:52Sailed away and we had a very pleasant night for soccer temperatures in the 60s
01:58Couple of hydration breaks just to make sure everyone felt good about things as the night went along
02:10Goal scorer Hwang Hee-chan
02:13Two braces tonight and then a singleton from Hwang Hee-chan
02:17In this 5-0 game in the 86
02:21Nearly 6-0 kept it on the Florida to Hwang Hwang in bomb
02:28The player for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie a perfect ball inside the box and a simple layoff what a
02:35layoff
02:36And you've got to love the combination play the Korea's having it you can see the confidence is
02:41Just started to just flow from this Korean side
02:50Corner coming from Hwang in bomb
02:54It's his second World Cup selection for the national team
02:58In the 87th
03:02Corners heavily favoring Korea Republic tonight
03:06And not down and off the line that was choke you song going for the hat trick and it was
03:11played off the line well by Trinidad and Tobago
03:15Just what Trinidad and Tobago needed to keep that one
03:18From being 6-0
03:20Corners now 8-1
03:22They played a keeper in Kim Sung-kyo
03:26Just three minutes and stoppage remain here at Southfield
03:32We've seen enough to know we already did know Landon, but it's gonna be a lot of fun watching this
03:37South Korea team do its thing here in Mexico the US and Canada here in the weeks to come
03:41I think Provo and the state of Utah gained a lot of fit or excuse me Korea gained a lot
03:46of fans here in Provo
03:47And in the state of Utah cheering for this Korean side throughout the World Cup, and they'll be a favorite
03:52from around here
03:55Korea Republic 5 Trinidad Tobago nil in the closing moments
04:00And show Q song has been a real spark for this team since coming and he's looked good and I
04:05think
04:06head coach Hong myung-bo and
04:08The Korean people can be really enthused about what he looks like in his return to play and
04:14meaningful play today
04:16In this international friendly if you start looking at what this Korean side has been able to do
04:21It's been impressive and I think what I go back to the the statement
04:26This is a tune-up you're looking for that opportunity to get people fitness
04:29Stay healthy and the healthy side has been maybe a little debatable tonight with two players leaving the pitch
04:34What you didn't want to see but everything else is almost lined up perfectly for this Korean side
04:39Oh
04:49Show you men and pay chun ho the two players who left injured
04:53Long ball for long each on but it makes it all the way to the keeper
04:59Tishon ragu
05:00I want to see a better touch there
05:05You see the ball coming in beautiful weighted ball laid right in and the touch just was not there
05:13the target was swan he chan
05:15plays the premier league with the now relegated wolves

06:12And a couple injuries and some goals here on the second half
06:21We've reached 90 and we'll play four more
06:26Four minutes of stoppage
06:38It's interesting watching derrick king up over here. He spent a lot of time up encouraging his guys and that's
06:43when you know
06:43This side's young. He could be frustrated. He could be sitting on his chair
06:48Disengaged or or frustrated with what he's seen, but he's been up there encouraging and talking through things with players
06:53and that's what you know
06:55From this side they're young this trinidad and tobago side is really young and inexperienced and this is a big
07:01opportunity for them

07:32good and he
07:33Done a good job on that outside back getting up and down and the three back is a challenge for
07:37players like him
07:38It's a lot of movements and a lot of effort, but he's done a good job here to go through
07:4290
07:44We're in the four minutes of stoppage
