Bae Junho was a second-half substitute for South Korea against Oman
Stoke City midfielder Bae Junho has helped South Korea move closer to qualifying for an 11th successive World Cup finals.
The 21-year-old appeared as a second-half substitute in a 1-1 draw with Oman in Goyang which leaves the Taegeuk Warriors top of their Asian qualifying group.
Wolves midfielder Hwang Hee-Chan gave South Korea a first-half lead only for the visitors to equalise with 10 minutes remaining.
The top two sides will qualify for the 2026 tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico with South Korea six points clear of third-placed Jordan.
Junho earned his seventh cap in the game and will be part of the squad for their next qualifier against Jordan on Tuesday where victory could be enough to confirm their place at the World Cup.
