Tottenham Hotspur fans react as Son Heung-min and South Korea win their World Cup qualifier vs UAE
Tottenham Hotspur superstar Son Heung-Min opened the international break with South Korea by securing a clinical 1-0 victory over the United Arab Emirates. With this victory, his team is placed comfortably in second position in their World Cup qualifying group.
The Taegeuk Warriors opened the scoring via a penalty in the 36th minute courtesy of a composed finish from Hwang Hee-Chan. The hosts dominated the game as well as position and were in control more most periods.
They had greater composure and technical finesse on the ball and the 29-year-old Spurs forward was inches away from getting himself on the scoresheet and he made a superb run and cut across players only for his shot to hit the post just as the half was coming to an end.
South Korea now sit 2nd in Third Round Group A of the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup qualifiers Asia with 11 points from 5 games. They are still unbeaten, but trail leaders Iran by 2 points. This win against UAE was truly a morale booster for them before their next assignment against Iraq on Tuesday.
The fans were full of praise for the 29-year-old’s performance and the Lilwyhites supporters will be hoping that he can continue to impress in the same manner throughout the matches. Son’s team dictated the play throughout the game.
