South Korea

Despite a strong line-up that included Son Heung-min and Ji Dong-won, South Korea could not find a way past Iraq in their friendly clash.

South Korea were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Iraq in Wednesday's friendly match at Emirates Club Stadium in UAE.

Uli Stielike's side could not find a way past goalkeeper Mohammed Gassid despite boasting a strong side that included Tottenham star Son Heung-min and Augsburg striker Ji Dong-won.

Iraq, who lost 2-0 to South Korea when the teams last met in the semi-final of the Asian Cup in 2015, were good value for the draw and mustered more efforts on target than their more illustrious opponents.
