Match overview
South Korea took full advantage of Portugal’s chaotic discipline, with two red cards leaving the European side down to nine men. The hosts pushed forward relentlessly, and Park Ji-sung broke the deadlock midway through the second half. Backed by a euphoric crowd in Incheon, the Koreans held their ground and secured a historic victory to top Group D.
Trivia
João Vieira Pinto’s red card and Beto’s double booking made Portugal the only team in the 2002 tournament to receive two reds in the same match. Park Ji-sung’s goal became one of the defining moments of South Korea’s legendary World Cup run.
