The venue is the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Kick-off time is 18:45 GMT. South Korea fell to Brazil in the semi-finals on Tuesday. The South Americans netted three goals without reply.
Earlier that day, the Japanese ran out of ammunition against Mexico. Yuki Otsu gave his side a dream start with a 12th minute goal at the Wembley Stadium. However, Marco Fabian, Oribe Peralta and Javier Cortes got the better of Japan’s untested defence.
For the Japanese and the South Koreans, the target is the same. They both want to bounce back from their semi-final defeat and win bronze medals on Friday. Japan can boast about a stunning 1-0 victory against Spain in the group stages whereas the Korea Republic can find confidence in their penalty shoot-out win over hosts Great Britain.
