FULL-TIME!

South Africa celebrates a historic 1-0 victory over South Korea, securing their first-ever World Cup knockout stage berth!

Maseko's clinical left-footed finish in the 63rd minute sealed the three points.

South Africa absorbed early pressure and deserved the win against an uninspired South Korea.

Despite 68.4% possession, Myung-Bo Hong's side managed just 1.0 xG compared to South Africa's 1.1.

South Africa finishes second in the group with four points, setting up a Round of 32 clash with Canada.

They are five points behind group winners Mexico, who beat Czechia 3-0.

South Korea still has a chance to advance as one of the best third-placed teams, but their fate is now out of their hands after a disappointing performance.

That's all from us!
