AFC Asian Qualifiers
A disappointing display saw Korea Republic having to settle for a 1-1 draw with Oman on Tuesday with head coach Hong Myung-bo describing the performance as the worst under his tenure.
Son Heung-min was equally forthright, saying he felt that he had let his teammates down with the Korea Republic skipper promising a turnaround against Jordan with the East Asian side also held by Palestine on Matchday Six.
They, however, remain very much in the driver's seat to seal an 11th consecutive appearance at the FIFA World Cup and will be fired up to answer their critics in resounding fashion.

Jordan will head into the tie second in the standings, with the impressive 3-1 win against Palestine seeing them leapfrogging Iraq on goal difference.
With Korea Republic struggling for consistency and having defeated them in the semi-finals of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™, Jordan will fancy their chances of victory - which will see them going level on 15 points with the East Asian side.
