Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-Min Son avoided two years of military service by helping South Korea beat Japan to win gold at the 2018 Asian Games on Saturday.
The game went into extra-time after finishing goalless after 90 minutes. Goals from Lee Seung-woo and Hwang Hee-chan gave South Korea the win despite Ueda Ayase pulling one back for Japan.
The Spurs forward would have been forced to undergo mandatory military service if South Korea had failed to win the final.
