South Korea, which is trying to win the U-20 Asian Cup for the first time in 13 years, won its first valuable victory against Syria.
South Korea, led by head coach Lee Chang-won, defeated Syria 2-1 in the first Group D match of the AFC U-20 Asian Cup held in Shenzhen, China on the 14th. Sungshin (Bucheon) scored the first goal in the eighth minute of the first half and Baek Min-gyu (Incheon) scored the winning goal, becoming the main player of the victory.

South Korea led the game with fast passes and aggressive developments from the first half. Sung-shin received Kim Tae-won's pass and scored the first goal near the penalty arc, and in the 23rd minute of the first half, Baek Min-gyu scored an additional goal with Sung-shin's help.

In the 15th minute of the second half, he gave up a goal with a mid-range shot by Syria's Aland Abdi, and later faced several crises due to his poor physical strength, but he kept the victory without losing a point. 안전놀이터
