The situation worsened for the Asian Tigers when Kim Min Jae, a defender playing for Bayern Munich, scored an own goal in the 43rd minute, bringing the score to 3-0 at halftime.

As the second half commenced, South Korea hoped to regroup, but their struggles continued. Nunez scored again in the 62nd minute, completing his brace and extending Uruguay's lead to 4-0.
