World Cup 2022: South Korea beats Portugal to advance and knock out Uruguay

South Korea got a late goal from Hwang Hee-Chan to beat Portugal, 2-1, and knock out Uruguay from the 2022 World Cup.

The Uruguayans beat Ghana, 2-0, in their Group H game and needed to have a better goal difference than the South Koreans to advance if the two teams ended up tied on points. But a 2-0 loss to Portugal proved to be the difference as Uruguay spent the final 15 minutes of the game searching for a third goal that never came.

Here's how Hwang scored the winner after a fantastic run and pass by Tottenham star Heung-Min Son.
