Tottenham Hotspur remained undefeated this preseason, besting the K League all-star team 4-3 in midweek. Spurs have won all four of their friendlies thus far, racking up 14 goals in the process. Now the opponent gets tougher, when they take on Bayern Munich in Seoul, South Korea. This will be their third and final match in the Far East (two in Korea, the first one in Japan).
While it is just an exhibition match, manager Ange Postecoglu won’t go with a weakened first team here.
