South Korea beats Ecuador 3-0 in new coach Moreno's debut

Friday, 25 September 2026, 06:38 · 1 min read

South Korea's men's football team defeated Ecuador 3-0 in a friendly match at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Thursday, giving interim head coach Robert Moreno a winning start. Goals from Oh Hyeon-gyu, Son Heung-min, and Lee Dong-gyeong all came in the second half, with captain Son's strike bringing him to 57 career international goals — just one short of the national all-time record. The Spanish coach was brought in on a temporary basis following South Korea's group-stage exit at the FIFA World Cup in June, which cost predecessor Hong Myung-bo his position, and could earn a longer tenure depending on results across six scheduled friendlies.
