South Korea 1-4 Uruguay: Nunez brace and Kim own goal seal Forlan's first win (full match highlights)

Diego Forlan secured his first victory as Uruguay manager with a commanding 4-1 friendly win over South Korea at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Darwin Nunez opened the scoring in the 13th minute, latching onto a through ball from Giorgian de Arrascaeta and finishing calmly past Kim Seung-gyu. De Arrascaeta doubled the lead in the 27th minute with a composed finish following a swift counterattack involving Facundo Pellistri and Manuel Ugarte. The visitors made it three before the break when Kim Min-jae inadvertently turned Guillermo Varela's cross into his own net in the 43rd minute. Nunez headed home his second and Uruguay's fourth in the 62nd minute from Varela's cross. Son Heung-min scored a consolation for South Korea in the 80th minute, converting Lee Kang-in's delivery to equal Cha Bum-kun's record of 58 international goals. South Korea dominated possession with 59 percent and registered 14 shots, but only four were on target. Robert Moreno suffered his first defeat since taking charge of the Taegeuk Warriors after three consecutive wins. Uruguay's ruthlessness in front of goal proved the difference as they scored with almost every meaningful attack. Forlan praised his players after the match, saying the team is improving with each game and gaining confidence. What does this result reveal about Uruguay's resurgence under Forlan and can South Korea bounce back from this setback.
