AL RAYYAN, Qatar – South Korea’s Hwang Hee-chan scored in added time to snatch a 2-1 comeback win over Portugal on Friday, December 2 , but they then faced an agonizing 10-minute wait on the pitch before discovering it was enough to send them into the World Cup last 16 on goals scored.

It came when talisman Son Heung-min broke from a Portugal corner and slipped a perfect passto Hwang who fired past Diogo Costa to spark wild celebrations. “I’ve been waiting for this moment a long time… and I believed we could get it done,” Son, whose two previous World Cups had ended in group stage exits, said.

“It was difficult waiting for the Uruguay-Ghana result but we proved we could make the knockout phase,” he added. “I would like to share these great feelings with the people back home.”The turnaround marked a third successive World Cup night of nerve-shredding drama and also made it the first time three Asian Confederation teams have made the last 16 with Japan and Australia also through.
