The Korean women's national soccer team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, was also completely defeated by Canada with "10 players."

The 19th-ranked Korean women's team lost 1-3 in the second match of the FIFA Series 2026 against ninth-ranked Canada at Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba, Brazil on the 15th (Korea time).

South Korea, which suffered a crushing 1-5 loss to Brazil in the first round, lost its second consecutive series. The record against Canada also failed to overcome the objective difference in power with one win, one draw and nine losses.

On this day, South Korea made changes to five spots in the starting lineup compared to the previous first game. Son Hwa-yeon was the front-line striker, while Lee Geum-min, Park Soo-jung and Kang Chae-rim were deployed to the second line. The midfield was formed by Minyoung Jung and Kim Shin-ji, and the four-back consisted of Choo Hyo-joo, Roh Jin-young, Lee Min-hwa, and Kim Jin-hee. Woo Seo-bin wore goalkeeper gloves.

Canada took the lead early in the game. South Korea, which was dragged by Evelyn Vince in the 23rd minute of the first half, had an opportunity to change the flow of the game in the 27th minute of the first half. Canadian defender Jade Rose received a red card and suffered a direct Red Card in the process of blocking Son Hwa-yeon, who was breaking through by stealing a back pass.

With this foul, Kim Shin-ji shook the net with an accurate right-footed shot from the outside of the penalty box to tie the score 1-1.

However, he failed to take advantage of his numerical advantage in the second half. In the 15th minute of the second half, he lost the lead again by giving up an additional goal with a header to opposing defender Vanessa Jill. In the 25th minute of the second half, Jill lost another header in a corner kick situation, widening the gap.

South Korea went all out to score a comeback goal for the rest of the time, but failed to open Canada's goal any longer and finished with a 1-3 defeat.

Meanwhile, Shin Sang-woo will play the final match of the FIFA series against Zambia (65th) at the same place on the 19th.
