Klinsmann's opponent in the round of 16 at the Asian Cup has been confirmed as Saudi Arabia, a powerhouse in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia drew 0-0 with Thailand in the last third Group F match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation Qatar Asian Cup at Education City Stadium in Alayyan, Qatar, on the 26th (Korea time). As a result, Saudi Arabia will be the first opponent in the round of 16 tournament for South Korea to try to win the Asian Cup in 64 years. While South Korea finished the group stage in second place in Group E earlier, Saudi Arabia ranked first in Group F (7 points, 2 wins, 1 draw), and the two teams will compete for the quarterfinals. Saudi Arabia was ranked first in the group just by drawing with Thailand. Saudi Arabia missed the victory in the 12th minute of the first half due to the bad luck of Abdullah Radif's penalty kick. The round of 16 match between South Korea and Saudi Arabia will be held at 1 a.m. on the 31st at Education City Stadium in Alayyan. Education City Stadium is the stadium where South Korea played all three group games at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where it reached the round of 16. Saudi Arabia, Korea's opponent, is 56th in the FIFA rankings, 33 notches lower than Korea, which is 23rd. However, Saudi Arabia is a formidable opponent who has become a traditional powerhouse in the Middle East. Currently, the FIFA ranking is second only to Iran (21st) among Middle Eastern countries. At the Qatar World Cup, he also showed his potential to win 2-1 in the first group match against Argentina, which won the final title. In particular, Roberto Mancini, the "master" coach who led the Italian national team and Manchester City, a prestigious English Premier League, has been in charge of Saudi Arabia since August last year. Korea is now neck-and-neck with Saudi Arabia with five wins, eight draws and five losses. In the most recent friendly match in September last year, Korea won 1-0 thanks to a goal scored by Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Whelan). South Korea has been undefeated in the last five matches (two wins and three draws) against Saudi Arabia, including this one. [안전 토토사이트](https://edwardsrailcar.com/)
