Son Heung-Min steps up as South Korea's late win sends Uruguay out and sums up crazy World Cup

EDUCATION CITY, Qatar -- South Korea grabbed a 91st-minute winner against Portugal to qualify as runners-up from Group H in the most dramatic circumstances.

Substitute Hwang Hee-Chan got the crucial goal to send South Korea through on goals scored, despite Uruguay's 2-0 win over Ghana in the group's other game (both Korea and Uruguay ended level on four points and zero goal difference, but Korea had four goals scored to Uruguay's two.)

Portugal had taken an early lead through Ricardo Horta before Kim Young-Gwon's equaliser.
