The South Yeo Ja-chuk-gu (CEO) team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo (50), put on a fiery 'firepower show'.

On the 5th, South Korea completely defeated Macau 13-0 in the second match of Group A of the 2026 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) qualifiers held at the Guam Football Association Training Center.

South Korea opened the scoring early with a first goal by Kim Ji-yoon in the 3rd minute and an additional goal by Jang Yu-bin in the 4th minute, relentlessly shaking the opponent's net to secure a decisive victory.

In the qualification final, the Jin Chul-han (CEO) team will clash on the 9th against the winner of the Northern Mariana Islands vs. Taiwan match for a spot in the final tournament.

The next East Asian Cup final tournament will be held in China. Along with host nation China, the top two teams in the FIFA rankings, Japan (5th) and North Korea (11th), have qualified directly for the final tournament. South Korea, the winner of the previous tournament, was pushed down in the rankings and is participating in this qualification round.

Meanwhile, today's 13-goal victory will not be recorded as an official A-match record. According to the Korea Football Association, the schedule for this tournament exceeded the principle of a maximum of two matches during A-match periods, and it also failed to meet the minimum 48-hour rest regulation for player protection.
