South Korea made a winning start to their Asian Cup campaign as two goals from Kang-in Lee of Paris Saint-Germain helped them to a 3-1 victory over Bahrain.
Bahrain started well but Jurgen Klinsmann’s South Korea gradually grew in the first half and took the lead on 38 minutes when Jae-sung Lee squared and In-beom Hwang checked back to curl the ball into the top-left corner. South Korea started the second half well but were caught napping and conceded a shock leveller when Abdullah Al Hashash tapped home from close range.
