World Cup Qualification Asia
Hertha BSC’s Dong-jun Lee (25) has been called up by the South Korean Football Association for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against the United Arab Emirates. The reason for this is the absence of Gue-sung Cho (24) due to corona.
South Korea, which secured a ticket for the World Cup in Qatar in the last international period, defeated Iran, who had already qualified, 2-0 on Thursday and took the lead in Group A. While Heung-min Son (29) in the First-half injury time hit, Young-gwon Kim (32) added in the 62nd minute.
The upcoming opponent UAE is currently in third place and would thus move into the playoffs against Australia, which is already third in group B. On the last day of the game, the UAE will face Iraq and Lebanon in a long-distance duel. The winner of the duel between the two third-place finishers in the Asian World Cup qualifiers meets the fifth-place finishers in the South American World Cup qualifiers in the fight for one of the last World Cup tickets.
