South Korea secured a 1-0 victory over Ghana in an International Friendly on 18 November, with the hosts' defensive discipline proving decisive despite Ghana's attacking dominance. South Korea operated in a compact 5-4-1 formation and made their limited chances count, generating 1.44 expected goals from just seven shots, of which four found the target. Ghana, deployed in a 4-4-1-1 setup, dominated possession and created significantly more opportunities, registering 12 shots but converting only one on target and mustering just 0.67 xG—a stark illustration of their finishing inefficiency. South Korea's goalkeeper maintained a 75 per cent save percentage, though facing minimal genuine threat given Ghana's poor shot quality. The match exemplified how tactical organisation and clinical execution can overcome numerical advantage in chance creation; Ghana's inability to breach a well-organised defence despite territorial control proved costly. This result underscores South Korea's resilience in defensive structure ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
