Chapter 522 Chapter 520: Su Ya Yang Wei World Cup!

With the end of the final round of Group H, all the top sixteen teams were produced.

Six teams from Europe advanced, seven from the Americas, two from Asia and one from Africa.

Europe and the Americas are still the two most powerful continents in world football, and Ghana has become the only African team to advance.

The top half gathered strong teams such as the Netherlands and Brazil, and the competition in the bottom half was even more fierce. Argentina, Germany, England, Spain, Portugal...

On the second day after the end of Group H, the more brutal knockout match began. The winner continued to march towards the championship, and the loser had to go home and end his World Cup trip in South Africa.

The first to debut is Asian powerhouse South Korea and former world champion Uruguay.

Uruguay scored four goals in the group stage without conceding a goal, which shows how well their defense is doing.

South Korea scored five goals, conceded six goals, and defended mediocrely.

Whether it is from the world ranking or the performance in the group stage, Uruguay is better than South Korea, so it is generally believed that Uruguay will win this game and advance to the quarterfinals.

South Korea's top star Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung does not think so. He said in an interview with South Korean media: "Although people are not optimistic about us, we will win the final victory!"

At 26:[-] pm on the [-]th, the first match of the knockout round was held at the Nelson-Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth!

South Korea, which took the lead in serving, attacked Uruguay very patiently. In the 4th minute of the first half, Maxi Pereira brought down Park Ji-sung in front of the penalty area. The referee awarded South Korea a direct free kick in a good position.

In the last game of the group, South Korea tied with Nigeria [-]-[-] with two free kicks, and thus won the second place in the group.

There is hope in the eyes of Korean fans!

Park Joo-young's free kick went around the wall and flew towards the near post!
Just as the South Korean fans were about to cheer for the goal, the football hit the post and flew out of the baseline!

"boom!……"

There was a huge sound of regret in the stadium.

In the ensuing game, Uruguay launched a wave of offensive frenzy. In the 6th minute, Forlan found a chance at the front of the penalty area and volleyed!
The shot angle and strength of this ball are average. Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong saw the football firmly in his arms.

Two minutes later Uruguay made a comeback, Cavani cut in from the right to split the ball to the left, Fran took the ball and dunked Kim Jong-woo, then crossed through the open area behind the South Korean defense.

South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong was not decisive enough to stop the football!
This is a fatal mistake!

Suarez, who was ambushing at the back point, flew forward and shot!
Soccer in the net!

The ball is in!
One to zero!

Uruguay lead!
This is also Suarez's second goal in this World Cup!

In the ensuing game, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. The two sides came and went and created some shooting opportunities, but neither of them grasped them.

The score of one to zero remained until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, the South Korean team, which was behind, launched a fierce attack, and they had no retreat.

In the 203rd minute of the second half, Lugano knocked down Park Ji-sung, the referee sounded a whistle and awarded a free kick to South Korea.

The ESPN commentator exclaimed, "Can South Korea take advantage of this free-kick opportunity to tie the game?"

Ki Sung-yong, who scored Korea's first goal in the previous game, stood behind the football.

"Tick!..."

After the whistle blows, Ki Sung-yong kicks the football towards the goal!

Uruguayan full-back Vittorino made a header from the center to clear the siege, but his header didn't go very far and flew to the left side of the small penalty area!
Li Qinglong flew forward to grab a header from a small angle before Lugano and goalkeeper Muslera attacked!

The football flies to the goal!

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, the Uruguayan full-back Fucilet soared into the air on the goal line, and he wanted to make a volley clearance!
But his foot failed to touch the football!
The ball is in!
The score became one to one, and the Koreans evened the score!
ESPN sighed: "In modern football, set kicks have become a great weapon for scoring goals. South Korea's last three goals were all completed through free kicks!"

The South Korean fans in the stands were going crazy. In the 02 World Cup, although they achieved the best result in history at home - No.4.

But this achievement has not been generally recognized by the world, and many people think that they bribed the referee.

The Koreans have been holding back their energy, hoping to prove themselves again.

This ball let them see the hope of promotion again!
The two sides returned to the same starting line. Every touch of the ball on the field may change the situation on the field. The atmosphere on the scene was almost suffocated.

In the No.305 minute of the second half, Uruguay got a corner kick, and Fran sent the corner kick into the penalty area of ​​South Korea!
South Korean central defender Lee Jeong-soo jumped high and pushed the football out of the penalty area. Uruguayan midfielder Lodeiro, who was ambushing around the arc of the penalty area, did not directly head the goal, but pushed the football to his left.

After Suarez controlled the football, he suddenly cut inside and dodged Kim Jong-woo's block!

"Snapped!……"

Suarez followed with a rubbing shot!
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, flew past South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong's fingertips, hit the inside of the far post, and bounced into the net!
The ball is in!
Two to one!

Uruguay lead again!
Suarez scored twice, this is his third goal in this World Cup!

Suarez excitedly ran all over the field...

This goal hit the South Koreans too much. After the start of the game, they launched a more crazy attack. Uruguay decisively changed their tactics and switched to defensive counterattack.

They formed a solid line of defense one after another in front of their own penalty area to deal with the crazy counterattack of the Koreans.

In the No.40 second minute of the second half, the Koreans ushered in the best chance to equalize the score. Park Ji-sung made a direct pass from outside the penalty area, and Lee Dong-guk stopped the ball for offside and broke into the penalty area. He volleyed without anyone marking him!The football flies towards the right of the goal!

Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera makes a flying save!
But he failed to throw the football under him, and the football continued to roll towards the goal!

Fortunately, the football was decelerated and did not roll into the goal. Muslera quickly threw the football under him, and finally resolved the crisis in front of the goal!
"boom!……"

There was a loud cry of pain in the stadium, and the Korean missed the best chance to equalize.

In the next few minutes, the Uruguayans never gave the Koreans another chance, and kept the score of [-] to [-] until the end of the game, and entered the quarterfinals with their heads held high!
The Koreans can only regret to say goodbye to the World Cup in South Africa.

After the game, the South Korean players fell on the turf in pain, and the Uruguayan players embraced passionately...

This game has achieved Suarez. After the game, it is said that many giants have begun to pay attention to this Uruguayan star.

L'Equipe commented: Of Uruguay's 6 goals in this World Cup so far, Suarez scored 3, directly assisted 1, and made 1 penalty!
In other words, most of Uruguay's goals are directly related to him!

If it is calculated in a general way, it can be regarded as 3 goals and 2 assists. The value of the Eredivisie Golden Boot in this World Cup has been confirmed.

Don't think too much, the giants who plan to snap up Suarez have already squeezed their heads!

Earlier, the British media generally reported that Manchester United was preparing to sign Suarez for 2500 million pounds, but Suarez had a clear plan for his future: "The Premier League is a great game. If Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal come to me to talk, we will negotiate. But to be honest, my lifelong dream is Barcelona."
