(Baonghean.vn) - Following Japan, the Korean team continued to create an Asian miracle when they successfully came back from behind against Portugal, thereby winning a ticket to the round of 16. Meanwhile, in Group G, Brazil, despite losing to Cameroon, still topped the group.

The celebration of Korean players after their team won a ticket to the round of 16.

With a relaxed mentality due to having already secured a ticket to the round of 16, Portugal entered the match in a very relaxed mood. In the 5th minute, Horta created an advantage for Portugal. From the attack launched from the home field by veteran Pepe, Dalot handled the ball neatly, before assisting Horta to shake the net of goalkeeper Gyu.

But the resilience and determination of South Korea helped them do the unthinkable. After a number of missed opportunities, in the 27th minute, South Korea equalized. From a chaotic situation in front of the Portuguese goal, the ball found the right position of center-back Young Gwon, the number 19's kick easily defeated Diogo Costa.

South Korea's resilience and determination have enabled them to do the unthinkable.

The Asian miracle was created in the 90th minute of the match. Son Heung Min had a lightning-fast breakthrough, before making a reasonable pass for Hwang Hee Chan to break through and seal the score at 2-1. At the same time, Uruguay only had a 2-0 victory over Ghana and could not qualify for the next round.

Thus, the 2-1 victory helped the Korean team rank 2nd in Group H and advance to the round of 16 with Portugal.

The matches took place in the early morning of December 3, when witnessing the surprise between the pair Brazil and Cameroon. However, that did not affect the situation in Group G.

Taking off his shirt to celebrate earned Aboubakar a second yellow card and he had to leave the field.

Having already secured qualification, Brazil sent a number of substitutes onto the pitch to welcome Cameroon. However, Brazil still dominated the game from the opening whistle. The South American side's first dangerous chance came in the 14th minute, when Martinelli headed in a dangerous header, but goalkeeper Devis Epassy's fingertips saved Cameroon spectacularly.

In the following period, Brazil continued to create pressure on Cameroon's goal. However, the final shots of Rodrygo and Antony lacked the sharpness to convert into goals.

In the second half, Cameroon pushed up their formation to find a goal, but it wasn't until the 91st minute that the African representative got what they needed. From a cross from a teammate, Vincent Aboubakar jumped high and headed the ball into Ederson's net.

However, that was not enough to help Cameroon advance, because in the same match, Switzerland won against Serbia. Thus, in Group G, Brazil and Switzerland won the right to continue.
