News about Jo Hyeon-woo

The Socceroos (pictured left) have slipped out of the Asian Cup in a heartbreaking way, losing by 2-1 extra time to South Korea. In injury time from right-back Lewis Miller (pictured right), a needless penalty was conceded.

The former Manchester City manager wanted to see his team advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament. In a penalty shoot-out, there was more drama after a nail-biting game ended 1-1 at the end of extra time. Since Korean goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo saved penalties from Sami Al-Najei and Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mancini appeared to have seen enough as he walked down the tunnel before the winning penalty was awarded. Now, the boss has apologised by saying: 'I apologise for leaving early, I thought it was finished.' I didn't want to offend anyone.'

The narrow Swiss victory over Serbia was not enough to beat Brazil, but Tite - and the football-mad world - will be outraged against South Korea on Monday. Tite, who made nine changes for Cameroon's death, will make his first choice XI, if possible; with the likes of Alisson, Thiago Silva, Casemiro, Lucas Paqueta, and Richarlison all expected to return.

Uruguay defeated South Korea 2-0 in their last two games before the tournament, and as the second-favourites after Portugal's side finished third behind Brazil and Argentina during World Cup qualification, we now have a mixed bag of form. South Korea, on the other hand, was undefeated during their last three friendlies against Costa Rica (draw), Cameroon (win) and Iceland (win).
