Son Magic Takes South Korea Into Asian Cup Semi-Final With Jordan

Son Heung-min stepped up in extra time for South Korea with a sumptuous free-kick to see off Australia 2-1 on Friday and set up an Asian Cup semi-final with Jordan. Jordan sealed their place in the last four for the first time in their history with a nervy 1-0 victory that brought Tajikistan's fairytale journey in Qatar to an end. South Korea and Tottenham skipper Son had yet to fully stamp his mark on the tournament but he delivered when it counted, also winning a penalty for Hwang Hee-chan to level deep in second-half stoppage time.

Jurgen Klinsmann's side took a significant step towards lifting the Asian Cup for the first time since 1960.

"Fatigue, whatever -- there are no excuses. We're just trying to win the trophy and bring it back home," said Son after his sparkling man-of-the-match display.
