Son Heung Min: Opposition Coach Asks Forward for Photo Moments After His Team Concedes Equalizer

• South Korea drew 2-2 with Jordan on Saturday, January 20
• Son Heung Min was on target from the penalty spot
• After the game, a Jordan coach wanted a photo with the Tottenham star

Son Heung Min was caught up in another awkward selfie moment on Saturday, January 20, during South Korea’s 2-2 draw against Jordan.

The 31-year-old is on international duty at the Asia Cup and captained his side against Jordan in a Group E clash.

He broke the deadlock in the 9th minute with an ice-cold Panenka penalty, but Jordan turned the game on its head before halftime thanks to an own goal from Park Yong-woo and a strike from Yazan Al-Naimat.

It almost looked like Jordan would pull a surprise on South Korea with a win, but there was late drama as Son’s nation equalized in second-half stoppage time via a Yazan Al-Arab own goal.

While it was not a bad result for either nation, Jordan will feel more aggrieved as they were on the verge of a massive three points.

This, however, did not stop a Jordan coach from taking the chance to ask an opponent for a selfie.

As reported on TalkSport, assistant coach Hicham El Idrissi was quick to approach the Tottenham forward at full-time with a photo request, and Son, being one of football’s nicest guys, obliged.

This is not the first time Son has been involved in an awkward photo moment after a game.

In 2022, Son went viral after he reluctantly took a selfie with a member of the Ghana coaching staff during the World Cup.

At the time, the Black Stars left South Korea on the brink of World Cup elimination with a thrilling 3-2 win in a group match.

Son was on the brink of tears after the game, but that didn’t stop one of the Ghana coaches from coercing him into a photo in what was an absolutely savage moment.
