SEOUL: Son Heung-min’s long-range blast set South Korea on their way to a 2-0 win over Honduras in a World Cup warm-up on Monday but it was the performance of impish forward Lee Seung-woo on his senior national team debut that really caught the eye. “He was dogged and showed a lot of football sense,” Yonhap News quoted Shin as saying of Lee. “For this team, I don’t have to finish my own. I’m focusing on creating scoring chances.”Lee will hope to prove his worth to the national side again on Friday when the Koreans host Bosnia in another warm-up match in Jeonju before Shin names his final 23-player squad for the World Cup. Korea have been drawn in Group F alongside Sweden, Mexico and world champions Germany.
