South Korea kicked off their Asia Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory over Bahrain in Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, but the forward was missing due to a problem with his left hip.

Hwang In-beom gave South Korea the lead, but then Al Hashash levelled the scores for Bahrain before a brace from Lee Kang-in helped guide his nation to victory in their opening Group E game.
