Preview - Group C: IR Iran v Lebanon

Riyadh:  While victory may not be enough, Islamic Republic of Iran will go for broke when they face Lebanon in their concluding AFC U23 Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2026™ Group C match on Tuesday.

Korea Republic fightback elates Lee

Riyadh: Korea Republic head coach Lee Min-sung was all smiles after his side went into overdrive to beat Lebanon 4-2 in their AFC U23 Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2026™ Group C tie on Saturday.

The 2020 champions largely dominated the match but fell behind in the 13th and 48th minutes. They composed themselves to draw level in the 20th and again in the 56th before taking the lead in the 71st and putting the match beyond Lebanon’s reach five minutes later.

The win, with goals from four different players, boosted their chances of making the knockout stage following their goalless stalemate with Islamic Republic of Iran in their Wednesday opener and avoiding defeat against Uzbekistan on Tuesday will seal progression.
