South Korea opened their men's football campaign at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (a multi-sport competition held across central Japan) with a commanding 4-1 victory over Qatar on Tuesday, boosted by a first-half hat trick from Swansea City midfielder Eom Ji-sung. KRC Genk forward Kim Myeong-jun added a fourth goal in the 66th minute before Qatar's Marwan Sherif scored a consolation in the 85th. The result puts South Korea on track in their bid for a fourth consecutive gold medal, with their next Group D fixture against Saudi Arabia scheduled for next Tuesday in Nagoya.
