Kang-in&#8217;s converted penalty saw South Korea become the first ever Asian team to score in an U20 World Cup final, at the third attempt. In 1981, Qatar were beaten 4-0 by West Germany while 18 years later Japan lost to Spain by the same score.<\/p>\n<p>But that would be where the history-making would end for South Korea, as they became the third Asian team to finish as U20 World Cup runners-up, with the continent still awaiting its first winners.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Would You Rather Matthijs de Ligt or Frenkie de Jong?
