South Korea, which was struggling against Thailand, won the game with Cho Hyun-taek's Kimcheon winning goal in the extra time of the first half.
Side defender Cho Hyun-taek, who participated in the attack, peeled off the opponent's defense through Lee Dae-il's pass with Kang Hyun-mook Kimcheon and split the net with a left-footed shot.
In the second half, Korea replaced Bae Joon-ho Stock City and Um Ji-sung Gwangju, but failed to score additional points.
Hwang Sun-hong, the head of the Olympic team, was unable to join the event as he took over as interim coach of the A team, whose head coach was vacant due to the replacement of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Instead, head coach Myung Jae-yong will lead the Olympic team.
