Bafana Bafana Stun South Korea to Make History

South Africa’s Bafana Bafana celebrated a historic milestone by advancing to the World Cup Round of 32 for the first time after a 1-0 triumph over South Korea.

Thapelo Maseko’s goal capped a remarkable group stage comeback after a heavy opening defeat to Mexico.

Coach Hugo Broos praised his team’s tactical discipline in achieving the must-win result.

South Korea, having left captain Son Heung-min on the bench for tactical reasons, finished third in the group and must now anxiously wait to learn if they qualify as a best third-placed side.
