    FT: South Korea 2-1 Portugal!! All over in Qatar and South Korea ate through providing Uruguay don't score! Horta put Portugal ahead before Young-Gwon Kim levelled after 27 minutes. When it looked like it would end in a draw, Hee-Chan Hwang got a winner for South Korea to send them through! Uruguay's game ends 0-2 and the VAR howler in the Portugal game has cost them. Thanks for joining us and see you soon!

    Six added minutes.
  • 88'
    Time's running out for South Korea here. They need a winner.

  • 84'
    Portugal manage to get the ball away as S Korea continue to press.

    Portugal double sub: W Carvalho and B Silva on for Portugal. Joao Mario and Vitinha off.
  • 82'
    S Korea double sub: Kang-in Lee and Young-Gwon Kim off, Son Joon-Ho and Ui-Jo Hwang on.
  • 78'
    Play is stopped here as Young-Gwon Kim is down holding his chest.
  • 77'
    Portugal attack down this near side and Dalot's low cross is scrambled away to safety by the defence.
  • 74'
    Kang-In Lee hits in and it goes wide of the goal.
  • 73'
    Palhinha catches Kang-In Lee and it's a free-kick 25 yards from goal. Not sure about that. Looked a good tackle. Palhinha certainly didn't like the call.
  • 72'
    Leao goes for goal on the counter as S Korea leave space at the back, butthe effort goes wide.
  • 70'
    Huge appeals for a penalty for handball!! The close range effort by Son strikes Cancelo's right arm as well as his chest, but it's right by his side. No pen! Very good decision by the ref.
  • 69'
    Leao attacks and then commits a foul.
  • 67'
    Chance for S Korea by In-Beom Hwang and Costa makes the stop!

    Kyung-Won Kwon is down with an injury here. Leao and Andre Silva are getting ready for Portugal while Hee.Chan Hwang of Wolves will also join us shortly.
  • 61'
    Son goes down under contact from Pepe 25 yards from goal and the ref says play-on! There was a clear foul on Cancelo's knee by Son to win the ball and the official unbelievably missed it. Was a yellow as well.
  • 60'
    Horta's looping ball in flies past everyone for a goal kick.
  • 58'
    The ball into the box by South Korea and goes out for a goal kick.
  • 56'
    A lovely pass finds Son and he gets the corner!
  • 53'
    This game is over six and a half minutes ahead of the other game because of the first half added time in the other game. I think this game should have been made to wait.
  • 52'
    A ball into the box by Vitinha finds Ronaldo and he can't connect properly with the pass. Offside is given anyway.
  • 49'
    Portugal are enjoying all the possession here since the interval.
  • 47'
    Offside is given against Portugal.
  • 46'
    Portugal attack through Cancelo and the cross goes out of play.
  • 46'
    Second half underway here!
  • 45'
    HT: South Korea 1-1 Portugal! Half-time in Qatar and a draw's fair. Horta put Portugal ahead after five minutes, but South Korea then picked up. Young-Gwon Kim hit home a loose ball from a corner in the 27th minute to level the scores and then Portugal picked up. Vitinha's shot and Ronaldo's header wide on the rebound is the closest we've come to a third goal. Portugal will finish first as it stands while South Korea need another goal to progress. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+2: Joao Mario's ball beats everyone, the move continues and Nunes' cut back from the by-line is dealt with by the defence.

    Yellow card for Kang-In Lee after catching Vitinha.
  • 35'
    Portugal have picked up now.
  • 34'
    Dalot shoots and the GK makes the save. Corner.
  • 33'
    It's worth mentioning that that shocking penalty decision given against Uruguay for Portugal, which Collina later admitted was wrong, could prove to be crucial. Let's hope it doesn't.
  • 32'
    Uruguay get a second! Great news for Portugal as they will almost certainly get first. Not so good news for S Korea though. S Korea still only need one goal, but if Uruguay get a third, S Korea would need two more.
  • 30'
    Great save by the GK to deny Ronaldo! A Pepe ball from midfield sees Ronaldo get on the end of it and the GK saves! He was five yards off though and the lino spotted it.
  • 29'
    You have to say Paulo Bento's men were doing the attacking after falling behind.
  • 29'
    A reminder that Portugal's first place is assured even with a loss unless Ghana win. They're losing so South Korea need one more goal.
  • 28'
    Cristiano Ronaldo ducks, the ball hits his back and the ball breaks perfectly to Young-Gwon Kim! What was Ronaldo doing ducking there?
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Corea del Sur en el 27'
  • 27'
    S Korea score one!! The ball into the box sees the loose ball going to Young-Gwon Kim and he hits home! They are just one goal from qualifying!!
  • 26'
    Uruguay have taken the lead in the other one. As it stands, they are going through. Ghana missed a penalty v Uruguay in 2010 and got knocked out and the same could be happening here.
  • 23'
    Nunes' ball in for Ronaldo is cleared by Kyung-Won Kwon! It would have been 0-2 without his intervention.
  • 21'
    S Korea are enjoying the possession, but the disallowed goal is the only chance they've had up to now.
  • 21'
    Ghana miss the penalty! I'm sure I've seen that before!! It was saved this time. Great news for South Korea!
  • 20'
    Another long pass lookinjg for Son goes out for a goal kick.
  • 18'
    Ghana have a penalty in the other game. If they win, South Korea can't progress.

    Portugal take the lead in this one!! Pepe picks out Dalot on the far side, he beats a defender to get into the box and he squares for Horta to tap in! Dream start for Santos' men!

    South Korea make three changes from the 2-3 defeat to Ghana. Kyung-Won Kwon (Gamba Osaka), Mallorca's Kang-In Lee and Jae-Sung Lee (Mainz) take the places of Kim Min-Jae, Kwon Chang-Hoon and Jeong Woo-Yeong.
  • PRVW
    Antonio Silva and Joao Mario both play for Benfica, Horta is at Braga while the other three play abroad. Nunes and Dalot at Wolves and Man Utd respectively while Vitinha is at PSG.
  • PRVW
    A Silva, Dalot, M Nunes, Vitinha, J Mario and Horta come in for R Dias, Mendes, Carvalho, B Silva, B Fernandes and J Felix. Mendes is injured and out of the tournament, but the rest are purely tactical.
  • PRVW
    As for Portugal, a draw here secures top spot and they will almost certainly avoid Brazil. However, defeat here and a Ghana victory will see Portugal drop to second providing one of the games is won by more than one goal.
  • PRVW
    For South Korea to progress, they must beat Portugal and hope Ghana do not beat Uruguay. If Ghana draw, South Korea must win by two goals while Uruguay must not win by two more goals than what South Korea win by if Paulo Bento's men are to progress.
