[Saba Sports News] The Asian Games men’s football
competition is currently underway, and the outcomes of the group stage are
being determined. South Korea U23 have showcased an impressive performance
during the group stage. They emerged victorious in all three matches, scoring a
remarkable 16 goals while conceding none, securing the top spot in their group.
It is noteworthy that the Korean players are putting in tremendous effort to
win these games because a gold medal in the Asian Games grants them exemption
from military service. In the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the South Korean men’s
football team clinched the gold medal by defeating Japan 2-1, which resulted in
Premier League player Son Heung-min from Tottenham being exempted from military
service.
