Saudi Arabia's Under-19 team crowned the Asian Youth Cup on Sunday for the third time in its history, following a 2-1 victory over South Korea in the Indonesia tournament final.
The Saudi team waited just two minutes for Turki Al-Ammar to open the scoring as he fired a shot from South Korean goalkeeper Al-Ammar in net goal, Reuters reported.
Khalid Al Ghannam scored the second goal with a shot from the edge of the box in the 44th minute, but Cho Yong-wook cut the gap in the 64th minute from the penalty mark.
The Saudi team won its first Asian title in 1986 and repeated its feat in 1992.
