South Korea launched their campaign for a first Asian Cup since 1960 with a 3-1 win over Bahrain while fellow former champions Iraq beat Indonesia by the same scoreline Monday. In the last game of the day, Jordan thrashed Malaysia 4-0 with Mahmoud Al-Mardi and Mousa Al-Tamari both scoring twice. Paris Saint-Germain's Lee Kang-in upstaged Son Heung-min with two goals for Jurgen Klinsmann's South Korea, who are among the favourites for the title in Qatar.

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.

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.
