Son Heung-min Leads South Korea to Vital 3-1 Win Over Oman in World Cup Qualifiers

Posted : 11 September 2024

Son Heung-min expressed his enthusiasm for victory, stating that "winning never gets old" after South Korea secured a much-needed 3-1 away win over Oman in their World Cup qualifying campaign. The victory, achieved in Muscat, marked South Korea’s first success in the third Asian qualifying round following a frustrating goalless draw against Palestine in their previous match. Son’s late goal in the second half was crucial in clinching the win, helping the team rebound from their earlier disappointment.

 

The South Korean team has faced a challenging week, characterized by discontent among fans and tension with the new coach, Hong Myung-bo. This unrest was highlighted by jeers directed at Hong following the draw with Palestine, and defender Kim Min-jae's confrontation with supporters. Despite these difficulties, Tottenham striker Son Heung-min praised his teammates for their unity and effort, attributing the positive result to their collective hard work.

 

In the match against Oman, South Korea took the lead with a goal from Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan in the 10th minute. However, they were briefly equalized by Jung Seung-hyun’s own goal just before halftime. Son Heung-min restored South Korea's lead with a stunning goal in the 82nd minute, and Joo Min-kyu sealed the win with a third goal in injury time. Son highlighted the importance of continual effort and sacrifice to maintain success and commended the high-quality performance of the team.

 

Looking ahead, South Korea will face Jordan on October 10, a team that defeated them in the Asian Cup semifinals earlier in the year, followed by a home match against Iraq. With eight matches remaining in the qualifying round, Son remains optimistic, believing that if the team continues to play with the confidence shown in their recent victory, they will be well-positioned to secure one of the top two spots in their group for a place in the 2026 World Cup.
