'Oman vs. Wedgepo' Kim Jong-kyu “scored thanks to Son Heung-min's good pass”

Lee Min-kyu (Ulsan) credits Son Heung-min for the wedge goal against Oman.

The South Korea national soccer team, coached by Hong Myung-bo, defeated Oman 3-1 on Tuesday (local time) in the second match of Group B of the Asian qualifying campaign for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup at the Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman.

Lee Min-gyu came on in the 44th minute with South Korea leading 2-1.

Hong's plan was to play a steady, defensive game and hope for a “one-two punch” from Injongyu.

Hong's expectations were well met.

In the 56th minute, Son Heung-min sent in a ball from the right side of the box, and Inhabigyu finished with his right foot in front of the goal area to seal the 3-1 victory.

Minjoo, whose wife is expecting their first child, celebrated by putting the ball in his stomach and biting his thumb into his mouth.

“I knew it was going to be a very tough game, but it was a very good day for me because I was able to score a goal and win in a difficult situation with my teammates,” he told reporters in the joint press area after the game.

“It was important for us to be solid defensively and win the game, but Heung-min gave me a pass in a good chance and I was able to score the goal,” he said, giving credit to Son Heung-min.

Lee In-gyu started the first game against Palestine.

However, he struggled a bit, and in the second half, Osahun (Machida) came on in his place.

The two are now competing for the starting spot.

“Sehun has his own strengths, and I have mine,” Inhabigyu said, ‘but I've scored more goals in the K League,’ he added, showing confidence. 토토사이트 순위
