Word Cup: South Korea slide into final 16 after win over Portugal

Hwang Hee-chan’s 90th-minute winner put South Korea through to the Round of 16 of the World Cup in a 2-1 win over Portugal at Qatar’s Education City stadium.

Hwang made his strike after captain Son Heung-min sprinted the length of the pitch in possession to provide the assist.

Portugal opened the scoring after five minutes thanks to Ricardo Horta.

Group H was so tightly competitive that it wasn’t until eight minutes after the final whistle blew that South Korea knew their fate – Uruguay’s 2-0 victory against Ghana was not enough to edge Son’s men on goal difference.
