Coached by former German international Jurgen Klinsmann and led by the supremely talented Son Heung-min, the Taegeuk Warriors have stumbled into the semi-finals, but, as luck would have it, could now be 180 minutes away from continental glory.
Jordan's AFC Asian Cup 2023 story is much the same. Having finished a place below South Korea, they scraped into the next round by the virtue of being one of the best third-placed sides. Jordan, then, beat Iraq in sensational circumstances to overcome the first knockout hurdle and dispatched the hitherto outstanding Tajikistan at the second.
