South Korea coach Juergen Klinsmann praised captain Son Heung-min after the Tottenham Hotspur striker scored both goals in his new team's 2-2 draw with visitors Colombia in Ulsan on Friday.
Son has endured a difficult season in the Premier League but put those issues to one side to score twice as the South Koreans took a two-goal lead into the interval in Klinsmann's first game in charge of the Taeguk Warriors.
"As a striker, this is what you're looking for. He had a fantastic game. He has the freedom to rotate . As long as he knows where the goal is, I am happy." However, the South Koreans failed to give Klinsmann a winning start to his tenure when goals from James Rodriguez and Jorge Carrascal in the first five minutes of the second half saw the Colombians claim a draw.
