Match Report: -

The world cup brings about another big surprise as Portugal are the next victims of an early exit for a big team They struggled throughout the match and just could not pull back level after a bit of pressure which the Koreans dealt with superbly.

The South Koreans and the Japanese keep the tradition: the hosts progress to the next round.

Portugal down and out, disappointing for him and his national side.
