In the 84th minute, Choi Jun won possession for Korea Republic on the edge of the penalty area before chipping toward the far post, where Sehun was waiting to nod the ball into the back of the net.

Japan looked to have taken the lead in the 50th minute through Yuta Goke's close-range volley, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ruled that Taisei Miyashiro was offside in the build-up to the goal, and the score was wiped off the board.
