Park Soo-jeong scored the key goals as South Korea all but secured passage to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Asian Cup with a 3-0 win over the Philippines at the Gold Coast Stadium on Thursday.
The result secured a perfect record for the Koreans, who defeated Iran 3-0 in their opening match on March 3.
Australia’s victory over Iran later on Thursday will send the tournament hosts and South Korea into the knockout stages, with only determining which of them will top Group A when they face off in Sydney on Sunday.
Jeon Yu-gyeong opened the scoring with a neat turn and strike in the 12th minute before midfielder Park curled the ball into the top corner of the net from the edge of the penalty area three minutes later.
The Philippines, winless and yet to play their final group match against Iran, had a few chances through headers but playmaker Mun Eun-ju scored a third goal for the 2022 finalists early in the second half.
