Heung-Min Son played his part as South Korea signed off this summer's internationals with an impressive 4-1 win against Egypt on Tuesday.
Captaining his country again, and earning his 102nd cap, Sonny whipped in a corner for Young-gwon Kim to convert South Korea's second goal. Ul-jo Hwang, Gue-sung Cho and Chang-hoon Kwon were also on target in the friendly win at Seoul's World Cup Stadium - the venue for the first match of our pre-season tour against Team K League on 13 July.
Staying with Tuesday's action, Stevie Bergwijn entered the fray on 73 minutes, earning his 21st cap, as Netherlands found a last-gasp winner in the UEFA Nations League against Wales. Holland led 2-0 inside 23 minutes, Brennan Johnson pulled one back three minutes later and Gareth Bale looked to have rescued a point at 2-2 in the 92nd minute, only for Memphis Depay to win it straight from the restart. Ben Davies (74 caps) and Joe Rodon (27 caps) both started for Wales. Holland top League A Group 4.
It was a night to forget for England and skipper Harry Kane as Hungary ran out 4-0 winners in the UEFA Nations League at Molineux. Harry (73 caps) came closest for England when his header struck the crossbar at 1-0 in the second half, but it wasn't to be for the Three Lions, who remain bottom of League A Group 3.
After his goal against Scotland on Sunday, Troy Parrott (14 caps) started again and played 90 minutes as Republic Of Ireland fought out a 1-1 draw against Ukraine in Poland in UEFA Nations League League B Group 1.
On Monday, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg earned his 57th cap for Denmark and completed a full shift as his side beat Austria 2-0 at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen. The Danes top League A Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League after four matches.
Hugo Lloris remained on the bench with Milan's Mike Maignan in goal as France suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League. France are bottom of League A Group 1.
Kallum Cesay came off the bench as Sierra Leone came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against Guinea-Bissau in African Cup of Nations qualfying. Meanwhile, Maksim Paskotsi was an unused substitute in Estonia's goalless friendly draw in Albania.
