Hakan Sukur scored the fastest goal in World Cup history as Turkey beat South Korea 3-2 to take third place in the tournament.

Sukur scored for Turkey after just 11 seconds, but in an entertaining game the Koreans pulled level eight minutes later with a goal from Lee Eul-yong. However, two more goals from Ilhan Mansiz gave Turkey a healthy lead at half-time.

South Korea battled hard to catch up in the second-half, but the only other goal came in injury time when Chong-Gug Song's shot was deflected in.
