South Korea's 2-1 victory over Portugal

In a thrilling 2-1 victory over already-qualified Portugal on Friday, substitute Hwang Hee-chan scored the game-winning goal in extra time to save South Korea from being eliminated from the FIFA World Cup 2022. At Qatar's Education City Stadium, the Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker snuck in the game-winning goal in the 91st minute, sending the Korean supporters into raptures and causing many to cry.

Ricardo Horta of a much-changed Portugal gave his country the lead in the fifth minute, but Kim Young-gwon of the Koreans, who needed to win to have any hope of surviving, answered in the 27th. Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, contributed to the Korean equalizer by turning his back on a corner and being struck by the ball, which set up Kim. Suarez completed the game on the bench in tears after he realized that South Korea had defeated Portugal with just seconds remaining.
