Son Heung-min burst into tears after 'paying his debt' to Australia

The Tottenham striker hugs goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo (in blue). Together, the two have overcome two difficult matches in the knockout round of the 2023 Asian Cup. Before narrowly defeating Australia, South Korea drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia after 120 minutes and then won 4-2 in the penalty shootout, in the round of 16.

After yesterday's match, when asked by an Australian reporter "Does Son think about repaying his debt to Australia?", he recalled: "I think it's more a part of football than revenge. I was heartbroken in 2015, more heartbroken than anyone else because I missed a good opportunity."

Son added: “Those games and experiences are opportunities for me to grow as a footballer and as a person. I wanted to win today’s game not just because of the loss but because I and the team had a goal in mind.”
