Asian Football Confederation World Cup qualifying today. All matches on Paramount +
The winners (so far) have been the usual suspects: Australia, Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. And Saudi Arabia just took a 1-0 lead over Oman early in the second half. Saudi Arabia's play was uninspired in the first half while Oman was quite resolute defensively and even had a few good moments in the Saudi's final third.
Also watched the last 35 minutes of the South Korea match vs Lebanon. Lebanon was game but ultimately fell to a superior Korean side. Korea, for its part, looked a little disjointed in attack. I'm guessing that's because Son Heung-min is still injured.
I don't watch enough football.
Edit: Saudi Arabia won that match to remain four points ahead in Group B.
