Hwang Hee-chan said team-mate Son Heung-min predicted he would fire South Korea to glory ahead of his dramatic injury-time winner against Portugal, while Uruguay boss Diego Alonso refused to blame his players after they tumbled out of the World Cup in dramatic circumstances. South Korea are through to the last 16 of the World Cup after they came from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win at the Education City Stadium on Friday night.

Wolves' Hwang, who missed his country's opening two matches through injury, came on as a 66th-minute substitute before he thrashed home Son's assist following a superb dribble and pass by the Tottenham forward directly from a Portugal corner. "Before the match Son said, 'you are going to create something today, we trust you'," said Hwang. "When Son got the ball I was convinced that he would pass it to me. It was an excellent pass and it made my job much more easier.
