S. Korea draws against Jordan 1-1 during World Cup qualifier

South Korean men's national football team were in action in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night but could only manage a 1-1 draw with Jordan at home.

Playing in front of a sold-out home crowd at the Suwon World Cup Stadium South Korea got on the scoreboard early thanks to a 5th-minute goal by midfielder Lee Jae-sung.

However, the visitors were back on level terms with an equalizer in the 30th minute.

The draw means the Taegeuk Warriors will have to wait to secure automatic qualification from Group B, which they top with 16 points.

Two games remain in the group, away to Iraq on June 5th, followed by Kuwait at home on June 10th.
