Live Commentary
Time:90'- Uruguay
- Korea Republic
90+3' FULL-TIME!! Uruguay reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time in 40 years with a 2-1 victory over South Korea at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.- 90+2' Victorino heads clear.
- 90+1' Lugano clears his lines as he has done all day.
- 90' Three minutes added time to be played.
- 88' Chu-young Park shoots over the crossbar.
87' Golden chance to equalise! Lee Dong-Gook springs the offside trap but scuffs his first-time shot and although the ball slips under the body of Muslera, Lugano is on hand to hack clear.
86' Ki Sung-yong is replaced by Ki-Hun Yeom.- 85' Forlan's free-kick is over the crossbar.
- 84' Suarez is replaced by Alvaro Fernandez.
83' Perez hauled down by Cho Yong-hyung who is booked.- 82' Suarez, the Dutch league's top scorer this season with 35 goals, set off that shot miles past the post and watched it curl into the net. He celebrated wildly by jumping over (and possibly on) the heads of the photographers.
81' GOAL URUGUAY!! That is a superb finish by Suarez who collects the knock down from a corner, cuts inside to work the ball onto his right foot and curls the ball into the corner, off the inside of the post.- 80' Forlan's corner is shanked behind by Park Chu-young.
- 79' Ki Sung-yong tracks back with Maximiliano Pereira and concedes a corner.
- 78' Match Image The equaliser
- 77' Uruguay have never lost a World Cup match in which they were leading at half-time.
- 76' A shooting chance for Forlan but he completely fluffs his line after a good run by Maximiliano Pereira.
- 75' Nicolas Lodeiro replaces Alvaro Pereira.
- 74' Suarez is all alone eight yards from goal as Fucile hoists a ball back into the area but he fails to hit the target with his header. A real chance.
- 73' Suarez shoots from a tight angle and Jung Sung-ryong pushes over.
- 72' The rain has returned in earnest.
- 71' Lee Chung-yong should have had his second, he runs straight past Fucile to collect a through ball but shoots straight at Muslera.
- 70' Cha Du-ri booked for a high tackle on Alvaro Pereira.
- 69' Uruguay's tactic of sitting back and trying to protect their lead has backfired.
- 68' GOAL!! Korea equalise through Lee Chung-yong. A real scrappy goal as Muslera comes off his line to collect Victorino's attempted clearing header but gets nowhere near and the Bolton man nods into the empty net.
- 67' This time Lugano comes through the back of Park Ji-sung to let Korea put the ball in the danger area.
- 66' Park Ji-sung is unable to circumnavigate Lugano on the edge of the area, typical Uruayan defender.
- 65' This is the first time Korea have reached the last 16 on foreign soil. They join North Korea (1966) and Saudi Arabia (1994) as the only Asian nations to reach the knockout phase of a World Cup staged outside of Asia.
- 64' Ki Sung-yong goes down under minimal contact from Cavani - would have been a soft penalty.
- 63' Suarez is quite isolated now with Cavani and Forlan dropping deeper.
- 62' Ian: "Not a great World Cup for the ticket touts! There's lots of empty seats again, you'd think they would sell the extra tickets for cheap or just give them away."
- 61' Lee Dong-Gook, once of Middlesbrough, replaces Kim Jae-sung.
- 60' Thankfully the rain has eased off.
- 59' Cha Du-ri's cross is headed goalbound by Park Ji-sung but Muslera dives full length to his left to save.
- 58' The CONMEBOL record for most successive matches without conceding is four. Brazil have achieved that feat five times.
- 57' Uruguay are sitting very deep and inviting the pressure.
- 56' Park Chu-young's free-kick from the best of 40 yards is straight into the wall.
- 55' Park Chu-young's shot is blocked by Victorino.
- 54' Before today, Luis Suarez has finished on the winning side in 21 consecutive matches for club and country that he has scored in.
- 53' Ki Sung-yong's deep free-kick is palmed behind by Muslera.
- 52' Korea have had 55% of the possession.
- 51' Good chance as Lugano's clearing header falls to Park Chu-young but he blasts over from 14 yards.
- 50' Adventurous run from Lee Young-pyo and his deflected cross is stabbed behind.
- 49' Lee Jung-soo gifts the ball to Suarez with a woeful square pass but he scuffs his shot from 25 yards and that is easy for Jung Sung-ryong.
- 48' A little too intricate from Uruguay on the edge of the area as the backheel from Suarez leaves Forlan short.
- 47' And it is absolutely bucketing it down with rain now.
46' A change at the start of the second-half as Mauricio Victorino replaces Godin.- 45+1' HALF-TIME! And Uruguay have the lead at the break.
- 45' This time straight into the wall and Cha Du-ri blasts the follow-up over the top.
- 44' Godin brings down Park Ji-sung and a free-kick in an almost identical position to where Park Chu-young hit the post early on.
- 43' Appeals for handball as Maximiliano Pereira's shot hits the arm of Ki Sung-yong. Great skill to loft the ball over Cho Yong-hyung and then his volley hits the outstretched left arm. Could easily have been a spot kick.
- 42' Match Image Suarez clebrates his goal
- 41' A thunderous dipping long-range effort from Cha Du-ri and not too far over the top from the galloping right-back.
- 40' Korea Republic have failed to win any of their four World Cup matches against a CONMEBOL nation.
- 39' Suarez gets between the two central defenders but cannot make great contact with his close range header from Perez's free-kick. A real chance.
- 38' Kim Jung-woo booked for a sliding foul on Edinson Cavani with his studs up.
- 37' Park Chu-young seems to nudge the defender off the ball but his inviting cross is collected by Muslera.
- 36' Uruguay have not reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 40 years. In 1970 in Mexico, they finished fourth.
- 35' The pitch is badly rutted, the worst surface by far at this World Cup.
- 34' But Ki Sung-yong's delivery is woefully over hit.
- 33' Edinson Cavani penalised for a foul on Kim Jung-woo and Korea will have a chance to put the ball into the area.
- 32' Park Chu-young cuts inside off the right flank and a decent hit from 20 yards but his shot drifts wide.
- 31' The three successive clean sheets at the World Cup is already a team record for Uruguay and they look strong at the back.
- 30' Kim Jung-woo's 25-yard shot sails over.
- 29' First time volley from Lee Chung-yong goes behind.
- 28' And he should have had, Diego Perez claimed the ball with a fair tackle and the Ajax man was level with the last defender.
- 27' Suarez thinks he has a clean run on goal but is flagged offside.
- 26' Ki Sung-yong bursts into the area but is penalised for hauling down Diego Godin.
- 25' Maximiliano Pereira's goalbound shot hits Cho Yong-hyung.
- 24' Nice turn from Park Chu-young on the edge of the penalty area but Lugano deals with him.
- 23' Uruguay are playing in the knockout phase of the World Cup for the first time in 20 years. In 1990 they were also led by head coach Oscar Tabárez but crashed out in the second round against hosts Italy.
- 22' Lee Chung-yong is complaining that he has been pushed on the edge of the area but nothing doing according to our German referee.
- 21' Park Ji-sung is playing on the left today with Kim Jae-sung behind lone striker Park Chu-young.
- 20' Korea are the lowest ranked team left in the World Cup.
- 19' Park Ji-sung sees his cross charged down.
- 18' Fucile's cross from left lands on the roof of the net.
- 17' Match Image The goal
- 16' Forlan's free-kick is headed clear by Kim Jung-woo.
- 15' Foul by Kim Jae-sung on Jorge Fucile which will allow Uruguay to send their big men forward from the back.
- 14' Uruguay won their World Cup group for the first time since 1954. They also won their group in 1930 and 1950 when they claimed the trophy.
- 13' The holding midfielder Egidio Arevalo catches up play but his shot sails over.
- 12' Positive punch clear from Muslera.
- 11' Maximiliano Pereira gives away a needless corner.
- 10' Uruguay have yet to concede a goal in the tournament, can they hold on?
- 9' Korea had six men in the penalty area but none picked up the Ajax striker.
- 8' A defensive calamity from South Korea and Uruguay lead! Keeper Jung Sung-ryong comes out but fails to collect Forlan's cross from the left and Luis Suarez is left alone by sleeping full-back Lee Jung-soo to tap home from a tight angle.
- 7' Uruguay won the World Cup in 1930 and 1950, both times in the southern hemisphere.
- 6' Diego Forlan doesn’t really catch his shot from the edge of the penalty area and it's a comfortable save for Jung Sung-ryong.
- 5' Park Chu-young's curling free-kick hits the outside of the post! Fernando Muslera didn't even move as the Monaco striker bent his effort over the wall. So unlucky.
- 4' Maximiliano Pereira brings down Park Ji-sung on the edge of the penalty area and Korea will get a chance to work the keeper.
- 3' Plenty of gaps around the stadium, 5000 seats were not sold but there are far more empty seats than that.
- 2' A surging run from Park Ji-sung but he loses out to Diego Lugano on the edge of the penalty area.
1' The match is underway!- 14:59 And we are ready for the second round of the World Cup.
- 14:55 Mauricio Victorino, Jorge Fucile and Diego Lugano from Uruguay and Lee Chung-Yong, Yeom Ki-Hun and Kim Nam-Il will be suspended for the quarter-final if they receive another yellow card.
- 14:50 Today's referee is Wolfgang Stark from Germany.
- 14:45 Eurosport pundit Arsene Wenger thinks Uruguay's second round clash with South Korea will be a tight match but is tipping the South Americans to progress. Wenger blog
- 14:40 South Korea's advance to the knockout rounds of the World Cup should not come as a surprise given the rapid improvement of the Asian game, captain Park Ji-sung said. Park says Asian tide of progress no fluke
- 14:35 Uruguay's World Cup winning history will not weigh them down in the knockout stages, although getting their hands on the trophy was still too ambitious a dream right now, their coach said/ Oscar Tabarez on the big match
- 14:30 This includes one encounter at the World Cup. In the group phase of the 1990 World Cup, Uruguay triumphed 1-0 with Daniel Fonseca scoring the game’s only goal in the 90th minute. Korea’s Yoon Deuk-Yeo was sent-off in that match.
- 14:25 Uruguay and Korea Republic have met four times with Uruguay winning all four and outscoring their Asian counterparts 7-1.
- 14:20 The Koreans had been expected to makes changes at the back having conceded six goals in their last two games but have kept faith in their leaky defence. Uruguay are expected to stick by their attacking approach, with striker Diego Forlan tucked behind the front two, to try to exploit the defensive frailties of the Koreans, who will likely rely on trademark counter-attacks to catch their opponents on the break.
- 14:15 South Korea, who have reached the knockout phase for the first time on foreign soil, draft Kim Jae-sung into midfield in place of Yeom Ki-hun.
- 14:10 Uruguay, who are unbeaten in the tournament so far and yet to concede a goal, make one change as they bring back Diego Godin in place of Mauricio Victorino.
- 14:05 Teams - Uruguay: 1-Fernando Muslera; 2-Diego Lugano, 3-Diego Godin, 4-Jorge Fucile, 16-Maximiliano Pereira, 15-Diego Perez, 17-Egidio Arevalo, 7-Edinson Cavani, 11-Alvaro Pereira, 9-Luis Suarez, 10-Diego Forlan. /// South Korea: 18-Jung Sung-ryong; 22-Cha Du-ri, 12-Lee Young-pyo, 4-Cho Yong-hyung, 14-Lee Jung-soo, 8-Kim Jung-woo, 16-Ki Sung-yong, 13-Kim Jae-sung, 7-Park Ji-sung, 17-Lee Chung-yong, 10-Park Chu-young.
- 14:00 The do-or-die World Cup knockout games start begin with Uruguay aiming to extend Latin America's brilliant run in the tournament against South Korea in Port Elizabeth.
