FIFA World Cup 2018: 5 matches that prove this World Cup is crazy

#2 South Korea 2-0 Germany

Football: South Korea vs Germany at World Cup — Germany

The fact that the reigning champions have been a part of two crazy games just goes on to show how chaotic this World Cup has been. The Germans are always known for being hard-working and never for a moment do they take anything for granted and be complacent as a result.

However, their luck just didn’t favour them as the Germans missed a host of easy chances against South Korea, whose goalkeeper, Hyun-woo Cho, was simply unbeatable in this game.

After a barrage of 90 minutes by Germany, South Korea somehow managed to squeeze in a goal in the 91st minute. After that, Germany threw everyone – I mean, EVERYONE, even Manuel Neuer – forward and that is when they conceded their second goal of the match as Heung-Min Son had an open goal to aim at after being provided with a long-ball on the counter.

This match eliminated the Germans from the World Cup from the group stages itself, - something that hasn’t happened since 1938.
