Korea first win in WC with Argentina in a Thriller
The last-minute goal from Hyun Woo Nam helped Korea edge Argentina in a Pool A thriller at the National Stadium in New Delhi.
After a goal-less first half, the second half provided all the entertainment. Facundo Callioni put the South Americans ahead in the 53rd minute before Nam Yong Lee and Nam scored in last ten minutes to lead the Koreans to their first win in the tournament.
The match ended on a dramatic note as Sung Hoon Yoon, in the dying moments of the match, appealed for a penalty corner after the umpire whistled in the Argentines' favour. Video referral came into picture, overruling the umpire's decision. Nam did not miss what would certainly have been the Koreans' last chance as his low strike went past the South American goalie Juan Tomas Espinosa.
