Fizzles out after strong start
Kim logged one shot on goal and a chance created across 66 minutes during the Korea Republic's 1-0 loss Wednesday against South Africa.
Analysis: For the first minutes, Kim was arguably Korea's best player. From a corner, he headed its first shot on goal, blocked by Aubrey Modiba. Kim also stopped the opposing team's first counter-attack by blocking a shot from Relebohile Mofokeng. But defensively, the Korean center-back did not do much, his lone stat being a clearance. Kim notably fell behind South Africa's game-changing counterattack, which indicates why Park Jin-Seob replaced the former minutes after RSA scored. For a redemptive opportunity, he must wait for other results out of the Koreans' control. During their group-stage games, Kim logged six clearances, two interceptions and one block.
Multiple tackles won and clearances
Kim logged two tackles (two won) and two clearances during South Korea's 1-0 loss Thursday at Mexico.
Analysis: South Korea frequently attempted to create offense from the back, which meant center-back Kim achieved more passing Thursday than during his last appearance, when he created two chances. But like most of the Korean team, Kim was offensively stifled, as indicated by his zero creations Thursday. Considering that Kim recorded two interceptions and no tackles against the Czech Republic, his latest log means he flipped both categories' tallies at Mexico. For a second consecutive appearance, Kim registered multiple clearances, five between Korea's group-stage games.
