World Cup 2022: Uruguay and South Korea separate in a draw – Switzerland wins against Cameroon

The fourth goalless game of the World Cup: The game between Uruguay and South Korea ends 0-0. Switzerland, on the other hand, managed to start the World Cup. Ironically, Breel Embolo decides the tough duel over long stretches with his native Cameroon.

South Korea around star attacker Heung-Min Son scored a point against Uruguay in the first game at the World Cup in Qatar. The two teams drew 0-0 in the first game of Group H on Thursday. The 41,663 spectators in Al-Rajjan’s Education City Stadium saw a balanced game, but for a long time there were few chances.

The South Koreans’ biggest chance was missed by Ui-Jo Hwang (34 minutes) from a central position. Uruguay’s captain Diego Godin headed the ball against the post from a corner just before the break (43′), Federico Valverde (89′) also hit the post. It was the fourth goalless game at the World Cup.

Son played with a mask after his fracture in the eye area. The former Hamburger and Leverkusen player, like Barça striker Luis Suarez, remained without impact with the South Americans. Mainz Bundesliga professional Jae-Sung Lee was in the South Korean starting eleven.

Switzerland – Cameroon 1-0

With probably the most special goal of his career so far, ex-Bundesliga professional Breel Embolo gave Switzerland the hoped-for opening victory at the World Cup. The former Schalke and Gladbacher scored in the 1-0 (0-0) against Cameroon on Thursday in the 48th minute and thus became the match winner in a game that was tough for long stretches.

For the ambitious Swiss, who threw world champions France out of the tournament in the round of 16 last year, it was the perfect start in the demanding Group G in terms of the result. Moting from FC Bayern Munich received a severe setback. The other preliminary round opponents of the two teams in Qatar are record world champions Brazil and Serbia.
