Tottenham Hotspur's Heung-Min Son has said it was "a huge achievement" to escape without injury from South Korea's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against North Korea in Pyongyang on Tuesday.
The match between the two nations was played in front of no fans of either side or any foreign media.
The fixture at the Kim Il-sung Stadium in North Korea ended goalless despite South Korea's position 76 places above their neighbours in the FIFA rankings.
But Son was happy simply to avoid picking up an injury, per Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard:
"The match was very aggressive—it's a huge achievement just to return safely without being injured.
