Fans were left baffled after a Ghanaian official took a selfie with the crying South Korea attacker Heung Min Son after Ghana defeated the Asians by three goals to two.
The Ghanaian official whose name was not disclosed brought out his phone and put it closer to Heung Min Son, who could not look at the camera as he was consoled by another Ghanaian official, George Boateng.
Ghana scored two goals in the first half against South Korea and were hoping the scoreline was going to be extended in the second half.
However, South Korea’s Cho Gue Sung scored a powerful header in the 58th and 61st minute to give South Korea the equalizer.
The South Korean defense was not strong enough to stop the Ghanaian attackers, and Mohammed Kudus scored the winning goal in the 68th minute to end the hope of the South Koreans getting a win against the West Africans.
Kudus was named Man of the Match and is currently getting attention from top teams in Europe.
Who is Heung Min Son?
Son is a South Korean professional player who plays for Tottenham Hotspur and the South Korean national team.
Son is also the captain of his national team. He was born in Chuncheon, South Korea, on July 8, 1992, and is currently 30 years old. His height is 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in).
The player started his youth career in 2006 with Yukminkwan Middle School before moving to Hamburger SV II in 2010, where he made six appearances and scored a goal.
Son moved further along in his career to Bayern Leverkusen in 2013, where he had 62 appearances and 21 goals.
He then moved to North London to play for Tottenham, where he currently has 96 goals in 245 appearances. In addition, Son has scored 45 goals in 134 appearances for his national team.
He remains an important player for the team and is regarded as a country legend. Anytime he touches the ball, the fans cheer him up for his contribution to the team so far.
What are South Korea’s chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of the World Cup?
It is going to be tough for the South Koreans, but they need to defeat Portugal on December 2, 2022 to stand any chance.
Portugal has already qualified for the knockout stage with six points from two matches. The team needs Uruguay to beat Ghana or a draw between those two teams in order to qualify for the next round. But that can only make any difference if South Korea beat Portugal.
The last tie of Group Stage matches will surely be an interesting one; Ghana needs a win to qualify, Uruguay needs a win to qualify, and South Korea also needs a win to qualify.
Heung Min Son and his teammates will have to put in all their strength and take it as a do-or-die affair. The good news is that Portugal will surely rest their most important players.
