South Korea thrashed Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 in a World Cup warm-up match in Utah, with Son Heung-min and Cho Gue-sung each scoring two goals and Hwang Hee-chan adding one. Coach Hong Myung-bo was pleased with both the process and the result, highlighting Son's goals as a confidence booster and the successful return of midfielder Hwang In-beom from injury. Defender Lee Gi-hyuk also impressed in his second international match. The team's next friendly is against El Salvador on Wednesday at the same venue. Hong noted that while the opposition was weak, the goals would still benefit Son's confidence after a goalless start to the MLS season. Hwang In-beom's dominance in midfield was also praised, with plans to increase his workload. Lee Gi-hyuk's performance was seen as promising, though Hong advised him to balance his attacking tendencies with defensive responsibilities.
