Korea stun Italians with golden goal

Korea 2 Italy 1 (Korea win on golden goal)

The Korea star who earns his living in Italy with Perugia, Ahn Jung-Hwan, grabbed the golden goal that sent the co-hosts into the quarter-finals.

The frantic pace was maintained in the final period of extra-time and Tommasi had a goal disallowed for offside before Hwang Sun-Hong missed a clear scoring chance with an eight yard header at the other end.

And then Gattuso burst into the box onto a defensive error to fire a great chance over the bar.

Then with just four minutes left, Korea got their winner when Ahn Jung-Hwan headed past Buffon to spark scenes of unbridled joy.
