Golden Goal joy for South Korea

South Korea have knocked Italy out of the World Cup on a Golden Goal in possibly the biggest shock of the tournament so far.

Ahn Jung-hwan headed in with just three minutes of extra-time left. The Koreans had only drawn level with two minutes of regular time remaining when Seol Ki-hyeon scored a dramatic equaliser.

Christian Vieri put Italy ahead in the first half, but the Italians were content to hold on to the lead when they were in control of the game and ended up paying for their negativity. They also lost Francesco Totti who was sent off for a second bookable offence after diving in the penalty area
