Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son expressed deep disappointment and issued an apology following South Korea’s unexpected elimination from the Asian Cup at the hands of Jordan. The 2-0 defeat in the semi-final dashed Son’s hopes of leading his country to the final, marking a missed opportunity for the main contenders in the tournament.
Despite South Korea’s dominance in possession, they struggled to create significant openings and failed to register a shot on target during the 90 minutes. Jordan’s victory means they will progress to the final, leaving Son to return to London.
Post-match, a dejected Son stated, “I don’t know what to say really. I am so sorry. The players did their best. I’m very sorry that the game ended like this by mistake.”
While the Asian Cup exit is devastating for Son and South Korea, Tottenham fans anticipate the return of their star player, who has been absent for the past month. Son’s potential comeback comes at a crucial time for Spurs, currently fifth in the Premier League, aiming to secure a spot in the top four for Champions League qualification.
