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.

The South Korean players huddled in a nervous circle to watch the final extraordinary minutes of Uruguay's clash with Ghana unfold on mobile phones. But after Uruguay failed to add to their two-goal advantage, South Korea celebrated taking the runner-up spot in Group H behind Portugal by virtue of scoring more goals than the South Americans. 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.
