Even though they still have opportunities, the South Korean mission is like an impossible mission. South Korea will start the final group game against Portugal with only one point. The only thing that will lead Son Heung-min to the knock-out phase is a win against Portugal. They will have four points. And, if Uruguay can beat Ghana, La Celeste will be on par with South Korea.
