WATCH: Iran vs. Syria AFC Asian Cup 2024 live stream: Bracket, TV schedule, dates, times

The Asian Cup drama ramped up on Tuesday when South Korea rallied late with a stoppage time goal to force extra time before winning a penalty shootout against Saudi Arabia to advance to the quarterfinals. 

The action is taking place in Qatar where the nation is hosting the AFC Asian Cup for the third time. The tournament got underway on Jan. 12 when the hosts defeated Lebanon in the opener and now with the tournament through the group stage, it's time for the serious clashes to begin. The round of 16 began Jan. 28 with Australia crushing Indonesia 4-0. All the pre-tournament favorites, including Japan, South Korea, and Iran have made it through and they're joined by some underdogs like Palestine, playing in their first ever knockout round.

While historically the tournament has been held during the summer, due to the heat in the country, the tournament was moved to the winter of 2024, similarly to the scheduling when the nation held the 2022 World Cup. As a result, clubs will be without key players for the 18th edition of the tournament.
