Korea Republic v Italy, 18 June 2002

Kick-off: 8.30pm local Korea Republic won on the golden goal rule during extra time - 1-1 at 90 minutes Assistant referees: Jorge Rattalino (Argentina) Ferenc Szekely (Hungary) Fourth official: Mohamed Guezzaz (Morocco) Man of the Match: Ahn Jung-Hwan (Korea Republic) A golden goal from Ahn Jung-Hwan provided one of the World Cup's biggest shocks as Korea Republic knocked 10-man Italy out of the competition. The goal proved a wonderful conclusion to the game for Perugia's Ahn Jung-Hwan who had missed a fourth minute penalty. Christian Vieri had given Italy the lead in the 18th minute, but with just two minutes of normal time remaining Seol Ki-Hyeon sent the game into extra-time. Italy were reduced to 10-men during that period after Francesco Totti was red-carded. The defeat brought back memories of Italy's 1-0 defeat to North Korea in 1966 as the Azzurri were once again shaken to their foundations by a Korean team. It was the first time in history that a country had missed more than one penalty in a single World Cup - Eul-Yong Lee had failed to convert Korea's first against the United States in the group phase.
