But Son's men kept their cool in hot, sticky conditions as Park Jin-seob and Lee Jae-sun joined the Tottenham Hotspur star on the scoresheet.
South Korea’s midfielder #07 Son Heung Min celebrates after a goal during the FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers second round group C match between Thailand and South Korea at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on March 26, 2024. Son Heung-min scored as South Korea eased to a 3-0 win over Thailand on Tuesday, taking them closer to the next round of World Cup qualification in Asia.
But Son’s men kept their cool in hot, sticky conditions as Park Jin-seob and Lee Jae-sun joined the Tottenham Hotspur star on the scoresheet. After a scrappy first half, brightened only by Lee’s goal, Son fired home the second from tight angle nine minutes after the break, with the ball rattling into the net through Thai keeper Patiwat Khammai’s legs.The result means South Korea, who are top of Group C, need just a draw against Singapore in June to progress on the road to a 12th World Cup finals appearance.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong, who took temporary charge following the dismissal of the Jurgen Klinsmann last month, voiced his relief at his first win in charge.Paris Saint-Germain’s Lee Kang-in started in a front three with Son after coming off the bench last week following revelations about a bust-up between the pair at the Asian Cup.‘Devastated’ Son Apologises As South Korea Dumped Out Of Asian Cup
