The South Korean player collapsed.

On the morning of June 25th, the South Korean team suffered a disappointing defeat, while South Africa staged a spectacular comeback to claim second place in Group A of the 2026 World Cup.

After the final whistle, Monterrey witnessed two starkly contrasting emotions in the same match. On one side was bitter despair, on the other an explosion of emotion from those who had narrowly escaped defeat.

After 90 minutes in their final Group A match, South Korea lost 0-1 to South Africa. This result caused the Asian representatives to lose their second place in the standings, putting them at a disadvantage in the race to qualify for the next round. South Korea is currently ranked third in the group.

The South Korean players collapsed onto the pitch, many clutching their heads in disappointment after a match in which they tried to control the game but were unable to convert their opportunities into goals.

For the first time in World Cup history, Son Heung-min was benched. When he was brought on in the second half with the expectation of making a difference, he was unable to change the course of the game.

The South Korean team's star player's skillful moves were isolated amidst the opponent's tight defense.

As the match ended, Son left the field with a disappointed look in his eyes, unable to hide his helplessness. After three appearances at the 2026 World Cup, he had left no mark whatsoever.
