South Korea, led by Son Heung-Min and Lee Kang-In, defeated Saudi Arabia on penalties in the round of 16 of the Asian Nations Cup on Tuesday in Qatar.
The goal conceded by South Korea in the 115th minute against an eliminated Malaysia last Thursday gave a huge shock in the round of 16 of the Asian Cup between the Taeguk Warriors and Saudi Arabia this Tuesday in Qatar. An eventful 120-minute encounter resulted in the South Koreans qualifying on penalties (1-1, 4 tab to 2).
The Saudis, who left the competition undefeated, opened the scoring with Abdullah Radif with a cross shot from the left (46th), but the East Asian selection led by Jürgen Klinsmann then had numerous opportunities before equalizing at the end of the period. added time: Cho Gue-Sung, the great striker from Midtjylland, who had already hit the bar, equalized with a header (90th + 9).
Thanks to its goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-Woo, who saved two opposing shots on goal, South Korea finally reached the quarter-finals to play a new shock against Australia on Friday. Kim Min-Jae (Bayern), Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) and Lee Kang-In (PSG) are therefore not yet joining their respective clubs.
