The Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder scored a superb double to allow South Korea to beat Bahrain (3-1) in the Asian Cup.
Like Japan, which was trailed by Vietnam before winning 4-2, South Korea was also shaken up for its entry into the Asian Cup.
The South Koreans had nevertheless opened the scoring with Hwang Im-Beom at the end of the first period (39th), but Bahrain equalized with Abdullah Al Hashash returning from the locker room. South Korea ultimately needed a double from Lee Kang-In to win (56th, 69th).

The PSG player gave his team the advantage with a nice long shot, before making the break following a nice feint shot.

South Korea still made a successful start and will continue on Saturday against Jordan. Bahrain will have to bounce back against Malaysia.
