Group B: China PR 0-2 Korea Republic

Doha: Korea Republic took a giant stride towards sealing a place in the knockout stage of the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qatar 2024™ on Friday after a 2-0 win against China PR at the Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium.

Lee Young-jun, who netted the sole strike in their opening win against the United Arab Emirates, came up with the goods again for Korea Republic by grabbing both goals in the Group B encounter to leave China PR facing elimination with one game left.
 
It was a lesson in ruthlessness from Korea Republic, who had only three shots on target and scored two against opponents who were profligate once again, having gone down to Japan in their first match.
