Korea defeats Japan to win group in Olympic football qualifiers

Korea defeated Japan 1-0 in their final group stage match at the Olympic men's football qualifiers in Qatar on Monday, extending their winning streak to three as they gear up for the knockout phase. Substitute Kim Min-woo headed home the match's lone goal in the 75th minute of the final Group B match at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan, just west of Doha, and sent Korea into the quarterfinals with an unblemished record.
