South Korea pulled off a remarkable comeback win over Portugal in their final World Cup group game to book a place in the knockout stages at the expense of Uruguay on the narrowest of tie-breaker margins – it went all the way down to goals scored.

An equaliser from centre-back Kim Young-gwon and a last-gasp winner from substitute Hwang Hee-chan were enough to secure the win that resulted in South Korean tears of joy.

Portugal were already assured of a place in the next round before kick-off, but South Korea needed a win to have any hope of reaching the last 16 for the first time since 2010. And it was the worst possible start in that sense when Ricardo Horta netted early for the Europeans.
