  • 9' Jung Wooyoung catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 9.
  • 14' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 19' South Korea seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 23' The referee shows Korea Republic player a Yellow card on 23.
  • 28' It looks surprising South Korea does not make any changes. Hong Chul has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' Toni Kroos has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 48' Korea Republic player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 53' South Korea started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 53.
  • 56' Hwang Heechan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Koo Jacheol on 56 minute.
  • 58' Fresh legs for Germany! Mario Gomez comes on to replace Sami Khedira.
  • 63' Thomas Muller has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leon Goretzka on 63 minute.

  • 69' Fresh legs for Korea Republic! Ju Sejong comes on to replace Moon Seonmin.
  • 74' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Germany team. Jonas Hector is replaced by Julian Brandt on 78 minute.
  • 79' Fresh legs for Korea Republic! Go Yohan comes on to replace Hwang Heechan.
  • 84' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 89' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 90' Magnificent from Kim Younggwon! That is 6 goals in 11 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • It finishes all square. South Korea and Germany share the spoils 2-0.
