HONG KONG: South Korea beat Jordan 2-0 in Amman on Thursday to move top of Group B in the third round of Asia’s World Cup preliminaries as Australia won their first match under new coach Tony Popovic.
Goals from Lee Jae-sung and Oh Hyeong-gu gave underfire coach Hong Myung-bo his second win in a row and lifted the Koreans on to seven points from three matches.
Hong had been booed after Korea’s opening 0-0 draw with Palestine in Seoul but back-to-back wins mean the Taeguk Warriors are in a strong position to continue their record of qualifying for every World Cup since 1986.
