It was an unexpected trend. In the 12th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae’s back pass flowed short as he cut and blocked the opponent’s attack, allowing the opponent’s attacker to score the first goal.

With the score tied at 0-1, South Korea quickly tied the match. In the 16th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min grabbed the ball through Lee Myung-jae and Lee Jae-sung on the left side. Son Heung-min made it 1-1 by shaking the net with a calm shot from inside the penalty area after perfectly breaking down the Palestinian defense.

As a result, Son Heung-min scored two consecutive goals after the last match against Kuwait, surpassing Hwang Sun-hong with his 51st A-match goal and finishing alone in second place with the most goals.

In addition, he scored his 10th goal this year, breaking the record for most goals scored (9 goals) by an individual in an A-match season.
