I stayed up all night to watch South Korea go up against Bahrain in the AFC Asian Cup in Qatar. And I must say that the lost sleep was all worth it as South Korea displayed world-class football to defeat Bahrain.
Right at the opening minute, South Korea was attacking relentlessly. Park Si Jung, Korea's top player, tried several times to score a goal. But it was Koo Ja Cheong who scored Korea's first goal at the 40th minute of the match. At the 51st minute, Ja Cheong scored once again to give Korea a commanding 2-0 lead. Korea displayed excellent dribbling and passing all throughout the match to underscore its dominance over its opponent.
Obviously, the vast international experience of the Koreans served the team well. With Korea's impressive win, its match against Australia this Friday will certainly be a good watch. Australia is the highest ranked team in the prestigious tournament. But with the way South Korea played against Bahrain, it just might pull off a big upset and may even win the Asian Cup.
