KARIM JAAFAR/ AFP

South Korea advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup with a 2-1 win over Australia after extra time.

The Socceroos held a 1-0 lead for a majority of the match, before the Koreans equalised with a penalty late in stoppage time, and then took the lead through a stunning free-kick from Son Heung-min in extra time.

South Korea will play Jordan in the first semi-final on Tuesday after the Middle Eastern side beat Tajikistan 1-0 earlier on Friday.
