Ghana coach takes selfie with crying Son Heung-min after World Cup match

A member of Ghana 's coaching staff bizarrely attempted to take a selfie with a tearful Son Heung-min after his South Korea suffered a bruising defeat at the World Cup.

Mohammed Kudus inspired Ghana to a 3-2 victory in Al Rayyan, having squandered a two-goal lead due to a magnificent second-half fightback from South Korea. But Son's side were still beaten after Kudus scored for the second time in the 68th minute, leaving the Tottenham Hotspur star in tears after initially protesting at referee Anthony Taylor for not allowing him to take a late corner.

One of Ghana's backroom team had no mercy for Son, taking out his phone while his Black Stars colleagues respectfully consoled the 30-year-old forward and proceeding to snap an awkward selfie. Another of Ghana's coaching staff - which includes the legendary George Boateng - quickly told his pal to put his mobile away, allowing Son to have a moment to compose himself.
