(Reuters) - South Korean skipper Son Heung-min said he would take on more shooting opportunities instead of trying to set up his team mates after they were held to a surprise 0-0 draw with Iraq in last week's World Cup qualifier in Seoul.

The Koreans, who play Lebanon in Suwon on Tuesday, are third in Group A of Asian qualifiers, with only the top two sides qualifying directly for the 2022 World Cup.
