FIFA World Cup: Must-win tie vs Korea for champions Germany

Updated on Jun 27, 2018 08:38 am IST

South Korea face Germany in Group F on Wednesday, with qualification for the last 16 on the line. Die Mannschaft will guarantee qualification if they win by two or more clear goals. An injury time winner from Tony Kroos saw Germany beat Sweden 2-1, to keep their hopes alive. The defending champions have won the World Cup four times, in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014. Germany have won 15 of their last 17 competitive matches. South Korea have lost their two group games, but can mathematically still qualify for the knock out phase. If they beat Germany and Sweden lose against Mexico, with a three-goal swing between the games. South Korea have lost their last four World Cup matches in a row. (Video: SNTV)
