South Korea and Bahrain get their respective Asian Cup journeys underway with a meeting at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Monday afternoon.
The teams have been drawn in Group E of the tournament, where they are joined by Malaysia and Jordan in the battle for a place in the knockout phase.
Jurgen Klinsmann's men took the lead five minutes shy of half time through Jae-Sung Lee, and that proved to be the all-important moment in a tight affair.
Consequently, the Tigers of Asia have now come out on top in each of their last six matches across all competitions dating back to September.
Awaiting them next is the task of facing off against an opposing outfit who boast just one victory from the previous six editions of this fixture.
Having made a winning start to each of their most recent three Asian Cup campaigns, South Korea will be keen to lay down an early marker as they go in search of continental supremacy.
