Skipper Son Heung-min scored a brace and set up the other as South Korea made it two victories from two in the 2026 World Cup qualifying with a 3-0 win in China on Tuesday.
Son silenced a sell-out crowd of more than 40,000 in Shenzhen with two goals in the first half, the first a penalty and the second a clever header from a corner just before halftime.
South Korea wrapped the game up in the dying minutes through a bullet header by Jung Seung-hyun – from a Son free-kick – and they top Group C with a perfect six points.
Jurgen Klinsmann’s side thumped Singapore 5-0 last week to begin their qualifying campaign in style.
