 The recent Olympic football qualifier between South Korea and Saudi Arabia was intense. Luckily, South Korea eked out a 1-1 draw
against Saudi Arabia. With only minutes remaining, midfielder Kim Bo-kyung took a headed
pass from the penalty
area and found the net
with his left foot.
Preventing the national
squad from a stunning upset,
Kim’s goal put South Korea at the top of group A with eight points, with two
wins and two ties. The team has two games left to play. Oman is currently one
point behind South Korea in second
place, Qatar has three points and Saudi Arabia has two. The road to
the London Games will continue on February 22 as the national team faces Oman.
The final
match is set
for March 14. Seeking its seventh straight appearance at the Olympics, Korean footballers are
hoping to win their first Olympic medal. The fight in London isn’t going to be
easy. If history prevails, the Olympic soccer squad has only gotten past
the first round twice. | | |
