Sunday, 4 October 2026, 06:15 · 1 min read

South Korea beat hosts Japan 1-0 in the men's football final of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Saturday, claiming a fourth consecutive gold medal. Eom Ji-sung scored the only goal in the 61st minute at Toyota Stadium in Toyota (a city about 30 kilometres east of Nagoya), finishing a left-footed shot after a cross from Yang Min-hyeok was deflected to him. Japan dominated much of the second half and hit the post in the 79th minute, but South Korea held on to win their third straight Asiad final against Japan.
