Pune: Korea Republic head coach Colin Bell hailed his side’s determination and mental fortitude in the second half to beat Australia 1-0 in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ quarter-finals on Sunday.
It was an intense match from the first blow of the referee’s whistle with Korea Republic on the receiving end of Australia’s aggression.
The Taeguk Ladies, however, could have taken the lead in the 40th minute after a VAR review awarded them a penalty, but Cho So-hyun shot wide.
