Man of the Match South Korea vs Portugal

Hwang Hee-Chan is the man of the match in the South Korea vs Portugal match

South Korea was almost out of the tournament and the goal from Hwang Hee-Chan in the final additional time changed everything. It is not easy to score a goal in such a tough situation. Even top-rated players make mistakes under pressure but Hwang Hee-Chan‘s 90+1’ goal showed the commitment and courage of South Korea.

Turning Point South Korea vs Portugal

Of course, the goal from Hwang Hee-Chan was the turning point of the match. We have seen Uruguay celebrating before that goal and now are out of the tournament. So that one goal changed the complete scenario of Group H.

Why South Korea Won

South Korea played to win. Their body language, their energy, and their gameplay point out their commitment to the country. A most deserving win for South Korea. We have seen Japan achieve the same in Group E. Asian teams really doing well in this FIFA World Cup 2022.

Why Portugal Lost

Portugal was already topping the group. This might be the reason we have not seen the Portugal team that much active on the field. At half-time, they substituted their main players including Cristiano Ronaldo. They were not looking much interested to be undefeated in this group.

Final Verdict

South Korea deserves to be in the round of 16. They worked hard and achieved what they needed. Best performance by South Korea. Portugal didn’t play well but I think they will do better in the round of 16 as they are capable of doing so.
