Latest football commentary on Korea vs Japan
The final match of the 2025 East Asian Cup group stage between South Korea and Japan is truly a "dream final". Both teams have won all two matches, but Japan is dominating with a superior goal difference. Therefore, the Land of the Rising Sun only needs a draw to lift the trophy, while South Korea must win if they want to be crowned champions on home soil.

Both teams have been impressive in recent form. South Korea have won their last four games, including two in the East Asian Cup, without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Japan have been in superb form, scoring 14 goals in their last three games, including a 6-1 win over Hong Kong and a 2-0 win over China. The attacking prowess of the Samurai Blue is unquestionable, even without their European-based stars.
However, Japan will face many difficulties when playing on the Korean field, where the pressure from the audience is always a big advantage for the home team. Moreover, Korea also caused a surprise with a 4-1 victory right on Japanese soil in the 2017 confrontation. This match promises to be very balanced when both teams play disciplined, have squad depth and possess many individuals who can create breakthroughs.
With the tight game and the decisive nature of the match, a draw is an likely scenario, helping Japan win the championship but also proving the equal position between these two leading Asian powers.
