'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) said something after saving South Korean soccer in crisis. Son Heung-min led the team to a 3-1 victory on the 10th (Korea time) with a crazy performance with a winning goal and one goal and two assists in the 37th minute of the second half in Oman in the second Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asian qualifying round at the Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman.
He helped Hwang Hee-chan score the first goal in the 10th minute of the first half, and after Jung Seung-hyun gave up an unfortunate own goal in the opponent's free kick chance in the 2nd minute of the first half, he took over Lee Kang-in's exquisite pass in the 37th minute of the second half and cut the net with a desperate left-footed shot. Son Heung-min did his best in the 49th goal of the A-match and 16 minutes of extra time in the second half. After running nonstop for 10 minutes of extra time in the second half, he helped Joo Min-kyu's net goal with a calm pass to give Hong Myung-bo, who was stagnant due to the draw against Palestine, his first win. Son Heung-min drew a penalty foul in the 5th minute of the second half while competing for the ball with the opponent's defense in the box, but there was also a bad luck that the penalty was erased after nearly 10 minutes of VAR review, but he won three points by fighting spirit that did not give up until the end.

Regarding the meaning of the away victory, Son Heung-min then said, `The ground condition was so good that the players were able to play confidently. I hope this will be improved in the home stadium, too," he said. It was a point about the disastrous grass conditions at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, where the Palestinian match was held. The grass didn't make the play they wanted in a game that should have overwhelmed their opponents with a flexible passwork, but the players who didn't want to make excuses in the heavy atmosphere after the draw against Palestine didn't blame the grass. After the victory, the captain said what he had to say.
Son Heung-min then said "Winning always seems to be good. Winning requires a lot of sacrifice and effort. All the players made it one, so good results came out. We still have eight games left, so we will do our best to perform the best game of our lives to show the best game in every game. "I promised. Regarding the fact that every game is not easy, "It's better to be able to play a very proud and high-quality game as an Asian person for many Asian teams to develop a lot. In that regard, we should also make more efforts. The final qualifying round is difficult to play every game, whether home or awayEven though he remained vigilant, he did not forget his confidence, saying, "But if we extract 100% of our skills, we can continue to produce good results."
