Team South Korea
South Korea can neither qualify for the knockout round of be eliminated in this match. As an underdog in its opening match, the South Koreans drew 0-0 with Uruguay. Star and captain Son-Heung Min played with a face mask after suffering a fractured eye socket earlier this month, but the Tottenham Hotspur player didn’t have much of an impact. He is +210 for an anytime goal here. The Koreans held possession just 44 per cent of the time and had seven shots but none on goal. They also committed 10 fouls and were lucky that two Uruguay shots hit the post. South Korea’s best chance game in the first half when Nottingham Forest-owned Hwang Ui-jo had an open look but shot over the crossbar. Three points against the Ghanaians — the lowest-placed team at the tournament in 61st place in the world rankings — is a must for South Korea to advance with the last match in the group stage against Portugal.
Team Ghana
A loss would eliminate Ghana from any chance at advancing following a 3-2 opening loss to group favourite Portugal. André Ayew (73rd minute) and Osman Bukari (89th) had the goals for Ghana. It possessed the ball just 38 per cent of the time and committed a whopping 19 fouls. Coach Otto Addo criticized the American referee who awarded the penalty that resulted in Cristiano Ronaldo’s record goal for a 1-0 lead, calling it “a special gift.” When asked what he thought was the reason for Ghana’s narrow defeat, Addo responded: “The referee.” Replays indicated that Mohammed Salisu had indeed touched the ball away from Ronaldo’s feet before the attacker fell to the ground, so it shouldn’t have been a penalty. Ghana’s favourite for an anytime goal in this match is Inaki Williams Dannis at +275.
