SOUTH Korea moved into the semi-finals of the Junior Asia Cup when they beat Iran 5-1 in Group A at the MBM Stadium in Malacca yesterday.

  In Group B India and Pakistan played to a 2-2 draw, handing the advantage to Pakistan who only need to defeat Sri Lanka while India have a tougher match against China today (Monday).
  China had the better of Sri Lanka in an earlier match, winning 5-0 with ease.
  The Pakistan goals were scored by Muhammad Dibler (fifth) and Muhammad Irfan (39th), while India's scorers were Amit Rohidass (25th) and Akashdeep (61st).
