South Korea defeated Iraq in a categorical manner, this Tuesday afternoon, in a match for the 6th round of the Asian qualification for the 2022 World Cup. The victory, by 3-0, was built with goals from Jae-Sung Lee (33 minutes), Heung-Min Son (70′) and Jeong Woo-Yeong (80′).
In this way, the team coached by Paulo Bento reinforces the 2nd place in Group A, with 14 points (eight more than the 3rd placed, Líbano), and, with four games to go, it gets closer and closer to ensure presence in the tournament that will be organized by Qatar, next year.
Before that, the Portuguese will have the opportunity to become the second coach with more games ahead of the Korean national team: after having passed the Dutch Guus Hiddink, he is one of the German Uli Stielike, who has 38.
