Another dramatic group at the World Cup was decided by a huge Hwang moment and a disastrous Ronaldo performance.
Only a victory and a miracle would advance Korea to the round of 16 for the first time since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but the knowledge that Portugal had already qualified and would probably rest players gave them more confidence, which intensified when word of Ghana's surrender spread.
Arrangements and strategies
Kim Min-Jae of Napoli was replaced in defense by Kwon Kyung-won of Gamba Osaka because he was unable to recuperate in time for the crucial match against Portugal. They began with a 4-3-3 formation in an effort to push more players forward and seriously trouble the Portuguese defense. They also chose Lee Kang-In, a 21-year-old.
