Korea made a few attacking forays early, but the last 5 minutes Germany has had the entirety of the possession. However, he was smothered by two Germany defenders and the loose ball landed to Son, but the Tottenham forward fired high over the crossbar. Goretzka is the one to go off. Second place is still a three-way tussle: Germany will qualify if they beat South Korea and Sweden do not beat Mexico by a bigger margin. There seems to be a World Cup curse at work. Well, that wasn't very good by Germany. Neuer was high up the field as Germany pressed for a goal, but was rounded by Ju before his long field pass was caught by the pacey run on Son, who slotted home into an empty net to seal the win and send Germany out. He accelerates and stabs in a cross but South Korea, once again, scramble it away. Khedira shoots. Christopher Clarey: Neuer 2018 is still a long way from Neuer 2014. Lee Yong is freed by a left to right diagonal and he flays in low outswinging cross.

South Korea Cho Hyun-woo; Lee Yong, Yun Young-sun, Hong Chul, Kim Young-gwon; Jang Hyun-soo, Jung Seung-hyun, Koo Ja-cheol; Lee Jae-sung, Moon Seon-min; Son Heung-min. Lee shoots against Sule and the ball ricochets over for a corner.
Kim heads out a left-wing cross for a corner. That was a close shave. Son was involved again six minutes later. The defending World Cup champions are out!
“I had a big chance in the 87th minute. Asked if this was the end of an era of German domination, Hummels shook his head and referred to the team’s loss in the 2016 European Championship after winning the World Cup.
Ten seconds later Germany is back in front of South Korea’s goal but is called offside. There was plenty of pressure on the shoulders of the South Korea captain heading into the tournament, and his final performance at the 2018 competition was one he and his country should be proud of. After three minutes of stoppage time, Mark Geiger blows the half to a close. Germany look alarmingly vulnerable when South Korea increase the tempo and fizz the ball forward accurately. Low is sending Muller on next. So haben wir uns das nicht vorgestellt. This time it’s Moon Seon-Min. South Korea: Hyeon-Woo Jo (7), Yong Lee (7), Young-Sun Yun (7), Chul Hong (6), Young-Kwon Kim (7), Woo-Young Jung (7), Jae-Sung Lee (7), Seon-Min Moon (6), Hyun-Soo Jang (7), Heung-Min Son (8), Ja-Cheol Koo (6). Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer punches away a shot against South Korea's Son Heung-min. From a Germany corner, Cho makes a rare flap at the ball and lets it out to the far post where Werner traps it then scuffs a shot wide from a couple of metres. Son Heung-Min’s goal for South Korea (95:52) was the latest goal Germany have ever conceded in a World Cup match (excluding extra-time). Hummels returns after injury for the suspended Boateng, Sule replaces Rudiger. Most improbably, South Korea could qualify if they beat Germany by three goals, and Sweden lose.
The Germans certainly had opportunities. Werner hits the post with a snap shot from 10m when he tries to end some penalty box pinball with a decisive left-foot cannon. “Of course, we had high expectations for ourselves, but I don’t think we could fulfill it any of the three games,” said Hummels, the central defender who missed the Sweden game with an injury but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. Kimmich almost beats Cho with a cross that turns into a shot but the keeper scrambles back. This is the first World Cup in which the video assistant referee system, or V.A.R., is being used, and in the third minute of added time, the South Koreans took a corner kick that the Germans struggled to clear. For the first time since they were beaten in the first round of an all knockout tournament in 1938, Germany/West Germany have fallen at the first hurdle. Gomez, a header from the centre of goal, connecting with Kimmich's cross. Kroos bends in the free-kick to the near post looking for Khedira but Kim beats him to it and partially clears. South Korea block both. Germany, deservedly, have lost and are out of the World Cup at the group stage for the first time in history. Instead, they surrendered two goals in added time, to Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min, and lost. Kroos takes and hits the first defender. Werner takes the ball in the inside-left channel 25m from goal, turns on the afterburners and beats Jung and threads a pass through to Reus who is forced into the corner by Lee Yong. Manuel Neuer almost gifted South Korea a goal! And so it was Sweden and Mexico that qualified for the knockout phase from Group F. With Sweden defeating Mexico, 3-0, in Yekaterinburg, each finished with six points to South Korea and Germany’s three, with the Germans finishing last in the group on goal differential. They took 26 shots to the South Koreans’ 11, but the finishing touch was lacking. Now Kroos, feeding off scraps, takes a touch and then shoots, scuffing it low to Cho's right and the keeper flops down to save easily. The group stage of the World Cup is almost over. Mexico concedes another, and they’re being absolutely trounced by Sweden. Germany kept seeing chances come their way, with Timo Werner flashing a volley wide in the 51st minute before a Mario Gomez header went straight into the hands of Jo 17 minutes later. Germany are the fourth defending champions to be eliminated from the group stage at the World Cup in the last five tournaments (also France 2002, Italy 2010, Spain 2014). And Thomas Müller fell into one all his own, 'the interpreter of space'.
