South Korea have reached the men’s football final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after coming from behind to defeat China 2-1 in Wednesday’s semifinal.
China took the lead through Wang Yudong in the first half, but Lee Young-jun equalised before Bae Jun-ho scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute.
The result sends South Korea into the gold-medal match, where they will face Japan.
South Korea are seeking a fourth consecutive Asian Games men’s football gold medal. The final is scheduled for Saturday at Toyota Stadium.
China will instead play for the bronze medal after failing to reach the final.
