Son started crying, perhaps as the reality of the outcome set him.

Some players and coaches from Ghana, including assistant George Boateng, consoled him while he was knelt on the ground.

Another member of the Ghana coaching staff noticed the opportunity for a selfie and wrapped his arm around the Tottenham player while Boateng was speaking to Son.

Boateng ushered him away while Son walked away without appearing impressed.

South Korea’s chances of making it seem slim, but Ghana has a chance after their first victory.
