After holding Uruguay scoreless in a spirited draw to begin their World Cup campaign on Thursday, Korea will next take on Ghana in an essentially must-win match.
The Group H showdown between 28th-ranked Korea and world No. 61 Ghana is 4 p.m. Thursday at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, west of Doha, or 10 p.m. the same day in Korea.
It's the same venue where Korea submitted a strong defensive effort to keep the likes of Luis Suarez and Darwin Nunez at bay on Thursday. Korean players, to a man, said they were disappointed to only grab a point from that match.The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group H match between Korea and Uruguay at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on Nov. 24.

Ghana suffered a 3-2 loss to Portugal to begin their group play Thursday. All five goals were scored in the second half, with Ghana's rally falling short despite goals by Andre Ayew and Osman Bukari.
With one point in the bag but with Portugal, considered the best team in Group H, being their final group stage opponent, Korea must beat Ghana to position themselves for a trip to the knockouts.
