South Korea overcome a stubborn Oman 1-0 in their Asian Cup Group A opener.
Cho Young Cheol scored his first goal for his country in first-half stoppage, which proved enough for South Korea.
The victory came at a cost, however, as fullback Kim Chang Soo limped off in the first half and attacker Lee Chung Yong in the second to mar the victory.
Oman's best chance came in injury-time, but goalkeeper Kim Jin Hyeon brilliantly turned Imad Al-Hosni's close range header from a corner on to the bar.
