South Korea scored its third goal of the game in the 22nd minute of the second half to seal the victory. Kim Min-jae’s header shot in a corner kick hit Tunisian defender Meria’s body in front of the goal gate and then went into the goal gate.
South Korea has consistently attempted attacks against Tunisia even after the gap.
