HIGHLIGHTS - South Korea stun Portugal at the death to follow them through to last 16
Hwang Hee-chan scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to beat Portugal and secure South Korea’s place in the knockout stages of the World Cup.
South Korea looked to be heading home from Qatar before Son Heung-min broke free following a Portugal corner and played a perfect pass for Hwang to slot home in the 91st minute for a 2-1 victory.
Following Uruguay’s 2-0 win against Ghana, South Korea join the Portuguese – who had already booked their place in the last 16 after winning their opening two fixtures – in the next round having scored more goals than the South Americans.
South Korea, whose manager Paulo Bento watched from the stands following his outburst at English referee Anthony Taylor in their defeat by Ghana, knew only a win would do.
