Although South Korea's soccer team failed to advance to the round of 16, it succeeded in completing the drama, which is called " greatest extraordinary event " in Russia's World Cup.
This is because South Korea beat Germany, which was ranked 57th in the FIFA rankings, 2-0.
The national soccer team led by coach Shin Tae-yong won Group F match against Germany in the third round of the tournament at Kazan Arena in Russia on Tuesday (local time), with Kim Young-kwon and Son making two consecutive goals.
In this year's group league, Korea won two consecutive goals in Sweden (0-1) and Mexico (1-2 losses), but won one win and two losses (3-1).
Korea sought a miracle in the round of 16, but Sweden failed to achieve its goal by defeating Mexico 3-0.
Germany, which won the 2014 Brazil World Cup, also failed to avoid the " champion jinx " after losing to Korea.
In the 48th minute of the second half, the ball, which was hit by a German defender in the face of Son's corner kick, continued to Kim Young-kwon at the front of the net, and Kim scored the winning goal with accurate shooting.
The Assistant Referee declared that Kim Young-kwon was offside, but he admitted it as a goal through a video reader (VAR).
Germany even took part in the offense, including the goalkeeper.
Korea used the gap to score an additional goal in the 51st minute in the second half to score a 2-0 victory.
