With South Korea finishing its home game against Jordan in a draw, it maintained its top position in the group in the third qualifying round for the North-China World Cup.

South Korea had a 1-1 draw with Jordan in the eighth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Saturday afternoon. South Korea had a draw with Jordan, continuing its three consecutive World Cup qualifying matches. Although the team drew with Jordan, the team continued its unbeaten streak to maintain its No. 1 ranking with four wins and four draws (16 points).

Son Heung-min also assisted Lee Jae-sung's first goal in the 5th minute of the first half while playing the front line striker in the match against Jordan. In a corner kick situation, Lee Jae-sung finished the ball that Son Heung-min floated in front of the goal gate with a left-footed shot to score.

"It is true that we are disappointed with the result. There was something we had to learn, but we have to accept it with humility," Son said after the match against Jordan. "But it is true that we are still at the top of the group. We will do our best to maintain the group until we finish the World Cup qualifying round."

Son Heung-min said, "You can feel sorry for the result of the game, but there are invisible efforts. "I am grateful, proud, and sad to see my friends dozing off on the bus without jet lag. I feel sorry for not being compensated for that," he said.

In the third qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, the Korean national soccer team had three wins and one draw in away matches, while recording one win and three draws in home matches. Son Heung-min said, "I have a responsibility for not being able to bring results in front of many fans. I think there is a reason why we produce better results in away matches," adding, "I think everyone is responsible for the game even though we play in the best environment in the home game." To say this again, I am upset that we have to play in the best environment at home, but we cannot do it and do not improve." He added, "I hope you pay more attention. We can do better. It may sound like an excuse, but soccer is decided by even the smallest details."

Son Heung-min moved to the left side after the middle of the second half, while playing as the front-line striker in the match against Jordan. "I am grateful to the players who showed good performance," Jordanian coach Selami said after the match. "I lost a point early in the game, but I overcame it and finished with a draw," he said, adding, "Son Heung-min moved to the left side and put a lot of pressure on us from the side, but Yazan defended well." 토토사이트

Jordanian defender Yazan, who was named the best player in the match against Korea, said, "He is a good player and has respect for him. He has displayed great performance both in the world class and in the Premier League. I root for him. All the players, including myself, made efforts to stop him. I worked hard as a team. I feel encouraged that I have allowed only one goal in today's match."
