South Korea's A team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, won 3-1 in the second Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Oman at Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman on the 10th (Korea time). The victory allowed South Korea to declare its first victory under Hong Myung-bo.
After the last match against Palestine, Son Heung-min bowed his head. The overall performance of the team was not good, but Son Heung-min's individual performance was also disappointing. Son Heung-min was the best player in the offensive area along with Lee Kang-in. However, unlike Son Heung-min, he missed two crucial chances.
After the game, Son Heung-min said, `It is shameful because the sincere support of the fans is the driving force to take another step when there is a long way to go, but we ask for a lot of support and love"As a captain, he pleaded with his fans.
In this match against Oman, Son Heung-min proved that he still deserves to be cheered on. In the 10th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min lightly handed over the pass to Hwang Hee-chan when the defense was focused on him. Hwang Hee-chan scored the first goal with a strong shot.

When Lee Kang-in received the ball in the 37th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min broke through Oman's defense with Lee Kang-in with a fantastic linked play. Son Heung-min, who turned around, gave the lead again with an accurate left-footed shot. In the 11th minute of extra time in the second half, the shot was blocked on the counterattack, but he calmly caught the ball again and made an additional goal for Joo Min-kyu. It was a one-man show by Son Heung-min, who scored one goal and two assists.

Still, there are many moments when Korean soccer needs Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min responds every time. He is also an absolute key player under Hong Myung-bo.
