However, with only 13 minutes left in the game, Bahrain went against all expectations by scoring against South Korea. Later in the game, Hwang Ui-jo made an attempt to score but his shot went wide which led to an overtime match
Bahrain goalkeeper Alawi withdrew with an apparent hamstring injury. Unfortunately for his replacement, Abdulkarim Fardan, his first job was to pick the ball out of the net.
Kim Jin-su found time and space to steady himself and drive home his header from Lee Yong’s cross. Thus, the South Korean team began their celebration by holding up the #16 shirt of their injured teammate, Ki Sung-yueng.
South Korea will be facing Qatar on January 25, 2019 and KIBET has them at 1.83 odds to win.
