About this match

South Africa and South Korea are the only teams in the group that have hosted a World Cup — Seoul in 2002, Johannesburg in 2010 — but with radically opposite fates: the Koreans reached the semifinals at home, while the South Africans were eliminated in the group stage. In 2002, South Korea knocked out Spain and Italy in controversial matches that still spark debate today. The Bafana Bafana need a win to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Son Heung-min looks to lead his team to another historic run.
