PSG's Lee Kang-In Upstages Misfiring Son Heung-Min As South Korea Win Asian Cup Opener

15.01.2024 - 17:49 sports.ndtv.com

Lee Kang-in said he was "learning a lot" after upstaging Son Heung-min with two goals for South Korea in a 3-1 win over Bahrain on Monday to launch their Asian Cup campaign.

The Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder hit a second-half brace in Doha as South Korea made a solid start in their bid to lift the title for the first time since 1960.

Tottenham Hotspur talisman Son was guilty of two glaring misses and suffered the indignity of a late yellow card for diving in the Bahrain box.

Instead it was Lee who took centre stage, digging Jurgen Klinsmann's side out of trouble after Bahrain cancelled out Hwang In-beom's opener early in the second half.
