In the early morning of February 3rd, Beijing time, the second quarter-final of the Asian Cup ended. South Korea, ranked 23rd in the world, faced off against Australia, ranked 25th.
There are always dramatic scenes in Korean games. After 95 minutes of regular time, the Korean team fell behind 0-1 and only completed 2 shots.
It seems that Klinsmann's coaching position is in jeopardy, and the Korean team is standing on the edge of the cliff. At the critical moment, captain Son Heung-min stood up. Facing a defense of four people, Son Heung-min broke into the penalty area and was brought down, resulting in a penalty kick.
In the 96th minute, Huang Xican made a penalty kick to complete the tie. Just like Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals, the South Korean team magically dragged the score into overtime.
In the 104th minute, the South Korean team got a free kick in the frontcourt. Son Heung-min made a super world wave, and Asia's first brother beat Australia.
From the quarter-finals to the quarter-finals, the Korean team made a series of miraculous comebacks. It has to be said that the Korean team ran desperately for two more days, which is worth learning from the national football team.
The final whistle sounded, filled with joy and sorrow. The Australian players froze in place and couldn't believe it. After all, the Kangaroos thought they would win without any suspense before the 95th minute.
The camera was shown to South Korea. Son Heung-min knelt down and covered his face and cried bitterly. Kim Young-kwon, who is familiar to Chinese fans, had zero physical fitness and was sitting on the ground unable to get up.
On the other side, Klinsmann smiled and escaped two consecutive rounds. Klinsmann's coaching position is still safe.
