FULL-TIME: SOUTH KOREA 2-3 GHANA
South Korea have a shot deflected out for a corner, but Anthony Taylor decides enough is enough and blows for full-time.
South Korea manager Bento is raging and gets a red card for dissent.
What a win for the Black Stars!
99'
RELENTLESS PRESSURE
Another good whipped cross comes in from the left, but nobody is there. Then South Korea attack down the right, but Ghana bat it away again!
It has been relentless pressure from the South Koreans, but they just can't find a way through. Ghana are almost there...
97'
NO WAY THROUGH
So close! Ghana are hanging on with their fingernails here. A deep cross is headed dangerously across goal and the keeper can't get there - but neither can any South Korean attacker. Paulo Bento's side are running out of time.
95'
SOUTH KOREA STILL PUSHING
Another corner for South Korea. They've had plenty of those today. It's headed clear, as usual.
But South Korea work it back upfield again and Cho gets a shot away that needs saving at the front post. Another corner comes to nothing.

KWON COMES ON
The stat box has flashed up showing us that South Korea have had 16 shots to Ghana's seven, but only four on target compared to three.
Kim min-jae is off for South Korea, with Kwon on for the final eight minutes or so of added time.
90'
ATTAAAAACCCCKKKK
South Korea come forward again, but a cross is headed clear by Rahman at the front post.
From the resulting corner, Ghana manage to clear again through Djiku. A high ball is thrown back in the mixer, but that's also batteda away!
Then Son takes a shot -- charged down. Comes back for another shot - charged down.
South Korea are throwing the kitchen sink at this, and we have TEN MINUTES of added time to come!

Ghana
RAHMAN ON
A final change for Ghana now, as Mensah makes way for Rahman.
86'
KIM OFF TARGET AGAIN
Another ball is thrown into the Ghana box, and Kim Jin-Su is there again, but he heads wide. The left-back has been a real attacking threat today.
84'
BIG CHANCE!
South Korea are finding all sorts of space on the left wing, and Kim has time and space for a shot inside the box, but fires over! A waste of a good opportunity.

KIM BOOKED
Kim Youngwon has gone in the book.
76'
SOUT KOREA SO CLOSE
Oh my word, how's that stayed out? There are some South Korean appeals for a penalty from the resulting corner, then Son has a shot charged down.
But they come back again, and Kim Jin-Su's shot looks destined for the bottom corner, only to be scooped off the line! Ghana survive.
76'
ATI-ZIGI SAVES!
The free-kick is in a good position for South Korea, around 25 yards out and in a central area.
There are three players around it, but it's Lee who hits it - and hits it well. It gets up and over the wall, and Ati-Zigi gets down to his left to palm it out for a corner.

LAMPTEY BOOKED
It's quiet out there now...too quiet.
A yellow card is shown to Lamptey for taking down Son outside the Ghana area.

Ghana
GOALLLL! GHANA BACK IN FRONT!
What a second half! Ghana find space down the left and the ball is worked across the box to Kudus, via an Inaki Williams air-shot, and the Ajax man slots home a finish from 12 yards.
South Korea switched off there, and the Black Stars are back in front.

MANIC MONDAY
First Serbia 3-3 Cameroon, now this. There's something in the air today in Qatar...
