South Korea secured a 2-1 victory over Australia, with Tottenham striker Heung-min Son playing a pivotal role in both goals.

The Aussies took the lead with Craig Goodwin’s goal in the 42nd minute and seemed poised for victory until the 96th minute when Son won a crucial penalty.

Wolves star Hwang Hee-chan calmly converted the spot-kick, equalizing and sending the game into extra time.

In the extra period, South Korea earned a free-kick on the left side of the box, and Heung-min Son stepped up to take it.

With great skill, he curled the ball expertly into the left corner, securing the victory for his team.
