Oman equals South Korea late in World Cup qualifier

Oman shocked South Korea by securing a late 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifying match on Thursday. The game took place in Goyang Stadium, where South Korea seemed set to win after leading for most of the match. South Korea’s Hwang Hee-chan scored in the first half. He received a well-placed pass from Lee Kang-in and struck the ball past the goalkeeper into the net. With just ten minutes left, Oman’s Ali Al Busaidi made a surprising move, scoring from outside the box to equalize. South Korea remains at the top of Asian qualifying Group B with 15 points. Iraq follows in second place with 11 points, but they have one less game played. Jordan stands third with nine points, while Oman is fourth with seven points. South Korea will play against Jordan at home next Tuesday, aiming to secure their position for the World Cup. The top two teams in the group will qualify directly, while third and fourth places will enter another qualifying round.
