Steven Defour: Stupidly sent off for a two-footed lunge on Kim Shin-Wook just before halftime, probably ending his World Cup.

Looked a little suspect at left-back - not his best position - but good enough against this opposition. Jan Vertonghen: Had three woefully inaccurate long-range efforts before scoring the winner with 15 minutes to go. Nicolas Lombaerts: Comfortable alongside Van Buyten at the heart of defence, the Zenit man looked assured both with and without the ball. Showed good composure with the ball at his feet. (8/10)ĭaniel van Buyten: Very strong aerially, despite the presence of Kim Shin-Wook up front for the Asian side. A very capable understudy to Toby Alderweireld. (6/10)Īnthony Vanden Borre: Excellent when attacking the Koreans down the left, the 26 year-old was unlucky not to win a penalty during the opening period. Thibaut Courtois: Rarely properly tested by a poor Korean attacking unit, the Chelsea stopper was solid enough as he kept his unbeaten international record intact. Had one half-chance to feed the ball into a dangerous position but wasted it. Ji Dong-Won: Replaced the ineffective Kim Shin-Wook with under 20 minutes remaining. Kim Bo-Kyung: Spent a frustrating 25 minutes out on the Korean wing, the Cardiff City man struggled to get involved in the game. Lee Keun-Ho: On at half time as South Korea looked to open the scoring, the forward offered little in the way of a goalscoring threat, despite one neat flick which Courtois dealt with. Kim Shin-Wook: Handed a start after an impressive performance as a substitute against Algeria, the 6'5' striker failed to make any impact on the match. For the third game in succession, he was quite disappointing. Lee Chung-Yong: Made some poor decisions around the box, either with his passing or when choosing to go down instead of staying on his feet. Ki Sung-Yueng: Looked most likely to score for the Korean team tonight, with one shot from distance in particular troubling Thibaut Courtois.

Han Kook-Young: Sacrificed at half time as Hong Myung-Bo looked to win the game by introducing another forward. Koo Ja-Cheoi: Showed neat distribution in the middle, but lacked the penetrative intent which might've seen them break the deadlock. Failed to make an impact, struggling for space against a staunch Belgian defence. Son Heung-Min: His worst game of the tournament so far, Son was hauled off with 20 minutes remaining even though the team needed a goal or two.
