Warm-up match: South Korea 1-0 Iraq, Son Heung-min was dumb at half-time, and Li Gangren was pushed by "slapping his face" under his black feet

In a warm-up match that ended on the evening of January 6, Beijing time, the South Korean men's football team defeated the Iraqi team 1-0 and won the only warm-up match arranged before the start of the Asian Cup.

In this game, the South Korean men's football team hid many international players who played in the top five European leagues such as Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Gang-in in the starters. In the 29th minute of the opening game, Oh Hyun-hyun helped South Korea score the first goal, but the goal was invalid because his teammate was offside.

However, 10 minutes later, South Korea managed to score. Wearing the number 10 jersey, Lee Jaeseong scored a long-range shot from outside the box to help the South Korean men's football team break the deadlock.

Iraq came close to equalising in the 41st minute, but their brilliant one-on-one chance was deflected.

Yibian fought again, and Son Xingmin, Huang Xican and other European stars appeared one after another. In the 65th minute, Son Heung-min dribbled past the goalkeeper and was tripped down, and the referee did not award a penalty.

In the 85th minute, the two teams almost clashed. Li Gangren and Hajaj were entangled near the sideline, Li Gangren kicked Hajaj with his black foot, Hajjaj was angry, and before he had time to cover his feet, he pushed Li Gangren twice in the face, and then the referee and the players on both sides stepped forward to pull the two apart.

In the end, the South Korean men's football team, ranked 23rd in the world, defeated Iraq, ranked 63rd in the world, 1-0. In this Asian Cup, the South Korean men's football team is in the same group as Malaysia, Jordan and Bahrain, while Iraq is in the same group as Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan. Both teams will play their first match of the Asian Cup on the 15th, with South Korea facing Bahrain. The Iraqi opponent is Indonesia.
