Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2 in 2022 World Cup Group H thriller at Education City Stadium in Al-Rayyan on Monday, keeping them in contention for a place in the round of 16.
Ghana took a two goals lead in first half through Mohammed Salisu in 23′ and Mohammed Kudus in 33′. South Korea came back dramatically in second half as Cho Gue-Sung scored a brace in 57′ and 60′. Ghana, who would have been eliminated from the World Cup had they lost, looked helpless but were handed a surprise lifeline by sloppy Korean defending as Mohammed Kudus scored his second goal of the match in 67′ to give Ghana the much required win.
Ghana, who lost their opening group game 3-2 to Portugal, moved on to three points in the group, with the Koreans on one after two games.
South Korea Starting XI: Kim Seung-gyu, Kim Moon-hwan, Kim Min-jae, Kim Young-gwon, Kim Jin-su, Jung Woo-young, Kwon Chang-hoon, Jeong Woo-yeong, Hwang In-beom, Son Heung-min, Cho Gue-sung.
