Knockout Stage

South Korea vs Italy (Second Round)
South Korea brought joy to the nation when they disposed of former World Cup winners Italy, in a tense period of extra-time.

Spain vs South Korea (Quarter-final)
South Korea delighted the home crowd by disposing of their third European nation; even if it was at the penalty shootout.

Germany vs South Korea (Semi-final)
So the conspiracy theories can end; although we all know South Korea didn't want to play in Yokohama and will enjoy the third-place match in Daegu.

South Korea vs Turkey (3rd Place Match)
Song Chong-Gug managed to stun Rustu; when his long-shot deflected off Cha Doo-Ri's bottom, in injury time, for a last consolation goal that ended the game on a slight high note for the home fans.
