South Korean football star, Son Heung-Min, faced a disappointing defeat as his national team, the Republic of Korea, fell to Jordan by a score of 2-0 in the Asian Cup tournament held in Qatar. Despite captaining the team and playing every minute of the match, Son's efforts were not enough to secure victory.

The match against Jordan was a crucial one for Korea, as they aimed to win their first Asian Cup title since 1960. Managed by Tottenham legend Jurgen Klinsmann, the Korean team struggled to find their rhythm against a determined Jordanian side who scored goals through Yazin al-Naimat and Musa al-Taamari.

Son, who had played every minute of every match for Korea throughout the tournament, including two knockout games that went into extra time, had high hopes of leading his team to victory. However, the dream was shattered with the defeat against Jordan.

Fortunately for Tottenham Hotspur fans, there will be no third-place match in the Asian Cup, allowing Sonny to return to North London soon. It is expected that Son will be back before Tottenham's upcoming match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Despite his immense dedication and performance in the Asian Cup, it remains uncertain whether Son will be fit enough to start the match against Brighton. Considering the physical demands of playing multiple matches and the long trans-continental flight, it is unlikely that Son will be in top condition for a full game.

However, should Son be called upon in the later stages of the match as a substitute, there is no denying his capability to make an impact. As a seven-time reigning Best Footballer in Asia, Son possesses the skills to exploit tired legs and create scoring opportunities. Additionally, his disappointment from not leading his national team to victory might ignite his hunger for success, making him a formidable force on the field.

Brighton & Hove Albion should be on high alert as they face the prospect of a fit and determined Son Heung-Min ready to make an impact. The opposition may find themselves overwhelmed by his talents, as Son potentially tears their defense into three parts - Brighton, Hove, and Albion.

While Son's return to Tottenham marks the end of his Asian Cup journey, fans can anticipate his return with excitement and hope for a strong performance against Brighton & Hove Albion.
