South Korea showcased a commanding performance, defeating Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly held at BYU South Field in Provo, Utah. Captain Son Heung-min opened the scoring with a penalty in the 39th minute and doubled the lead just before halftime. The second half saw Cho Gue-sung score twice, while Hwang Hee-chan added another penalty to complete the rout. This victory was crucial for South Korea, who had lost their previous two matches in March, raising questions about their form and fitness ahead of the World Cup. However, concerns arose as defenders Cho Yu-min and Bae Jun-ho sustained injuries during the match, with their availability for the tournament opener against Czechia on June 11 now uncertain. South Korea's next match is against El Salvador on June 4, which will serve as their final warm-up before the tournament.
