What tearful Son Heung-min did as Ghana coach takes selfie with him after South Korea defeat

Tottenham's Son Heuing-min was clearly upset after South Korea suffered a 3-2 defeat against Ghana. The Spurs forward was unable to get on the scoresheet for his country once again with their World Cup fate hanging in the balance heading into their final Group H fixture against Portugal.

South Korea started the game against Ghana confidently but soon found themselves a goal down after Mohammed Salisu bundled home an opener in the 24th minute. Mohammed Kudos added a second before half-time leaving South Korea with an uphill battle in the second half.

Gue-sung Jo scored twice in three minutes to equalise for South Korea in the second half before Mohammed Kudos grabbed the winner in the 68th minute. Son had a more positive performance, creating chances and finding himself in better positions inside the penalty box compared to the 0-0 draw against Uruguay, but was unable to find a late equaliser.
