INSIDE THE SERIES: USA vs. KOREA REPUBLIC
The USA is unbeaten in 14 all-time meetings against Korea Republic, owning a 10-0-4 record in the overall series which dates to 1997. While the USA has played eight matches all-time in South Korea – over two Peace Queen Cup tournaments -- ironically, none of them were against South Korea. Every matchup between the USA and South Korea has taken place on American soil.
Prior to the Oct. 21 game in Kansas City, the nations met most recently in October of 2019 during the USWNT’s Victory Tour following the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which also marked the final games for former USA head coach Jill Ellis. The USA won 2-0 in Charlotte, N.C. on October 3 behind goals from Allie Long and Mallory Pugh and drew 1-1 in Chicago on October 6, with Lloyd scoring the USA’s lone goal on the day.
Korea Republic is the 15th different opponent the USA has faced in 2021 and the second from the Asian Football Confederation, with the U.S. having faced Australia twice during the Tokyo Olympics.
