South Korea won 3-0 in the second Group C match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asian qualifying round against China at the Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China on the 21st (Korea time). Son Heung-min, the captain of the national soccer team, led the team to a complete victory with two goals and one assist in the match.

Son Heung-min scored the first goal of a penalty kick in the 11th minute of the first half against China. Son Heung-min played as a kicker in the penalty kick situation Hwang Hee-chan got and cut the corner of the goal with a right-footed shot. After that, Son Heung-min scored multiple goals in the 45th minute of the first half by finishing the ball that Lee Kang-in floated in front of the goal with a header shot. Son Heung-min was involved in all three goals scored by South Korea by assisting Jung Seung-hyun’s header goal in the 42nd minute of the second half in a free kick situation.

China’s Sohu Dotcom said on the 22nd, “The game was defeated 0-3. Judging from the score alone, it should be said that he lost disastrously. I admit that China’s performance is not as good as Korea’s, but there was also an unfair judgment by the referee, he said. “Everyone knew from the match that VAR would not be conducted in the World Cup qualifying round, but I did not expect anything unfortunate to happen to the Chinese national team. Korea is not what it used to be. Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae are both world stars. However, there was also a biased judgment by the referee.”

In particular, some Chinese fans were found to be traitors. During the game, a group of fans were found celebrating Son Heung-min’s score, he said. “One of the Chinese fans lifted Son Heung-min’s Tottenham uniform in the stands where Chinese fans were located to celebrate Son Heung-min’s score.” Boos poured in and some spectators threw water bottles at him. Is he really a crazy person?’

The media outlet said, “The Chinese fan who cheered for Son Heung-min was dragged out surrounded by fans, beaten up collectively, and dragged out by security guards. All chanted the rebels in unison. There is such a trashy person among Chinese fans,’ he said. 파친코

In the World Cup qualifying match between South Korea and China, a fan whose uniform number 7 and name was marked as “WON” along with Tottenham’s uniform was controversially attacked by Chinese fans. A number of Chinese fans wearing Tottenham uniforms and cheering for Son Heung-min were seen at the stadium. One or two fans wearing Chinese uniforms flocked to fans wearing Tottenham uniforms, followed by physical fights and punching. A fan wearing a Tottenham uniform was dragged out of the stands by Chinese fans, and Chinese fans, who were completely defeated by South Korea, vented their anger at the fan wearing a Tottenham uniform.

England’s The Sun said, “When Son Heung-min scored two goals against China, Tottenham fans in the stadium were attacked by Chinese hooligans. South Korea won 3-0 against China, but its attack on Tottenham fans drew more attention. Regarding China, which is struggling with Korea, the Chinese media is even using the word “public certificate.” Britain’s Daily Mail criticized the attack on Tottenham fans, saying, “The attack on Tottenham fans seemed out of control and an ugly scene occurred in the stands.”
