Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base: Korea Republic secured their place in the knockout stage of the U-20 Asian Cup China 2025 with a dominant 4-1 victory over Thailand at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Pitch 1 on Monday.

The result confirmed Korea Republic’s qualification for the next round, as they are guaranteed a top-two finish in Group D, regardless of the outcome of their final match against Japan. Earlier on Monday, Japan had drawn 2-2 with Syria, while Thailand’s elimination was confirmed after their second loss following a 3-0 defeat to Japan in their opener.

The match began with early chances from Korea Republic. In the second minute, Yoon Do-yong’s volley rattled the crossbar, and Thai goalkeeper Anut Samran had to be alert, first nearly scoring an own goal in the sixth minute and then tipping a header from Kim Gyeol over the bar in the ninth.
