Summary of the thirteenth day of the Qatar World Cup
This was most relevant for the thirteenth day:
Korea beat Portugal and qualified by surprise. 90 minutes of inappropriateness gave way to six crucial minutes, after a corner kick, the clearance fell at Heungmin Son’s feet. After early in regulation time, the splendid Spurs striker led a solo counterattack across a half-empty field. For just a few moments he and Palhinha calmed down. But Palhinha, supposedly harsh, softened and, instead of overriding him, gave land to him. Son took advantage of the time his opponent gave him to wait for Hwang Hee-chan, who arrived to score the winning goal for South Korea, qualifying for the round of 16 at the expense of Uruguay. The South American team was eliminated from the tournament on goal difference, despite winning the last match.
Switzerland strikes and eliminates Serbia. After an amazing 45 minutes, Switzerland secured second place in the group, despite the defeat against Brazil, and knocked Serbia out of the saddle, who for a few minutes dreamed of being in the round of 16. Hope is shattered as soon as the second part begins, and the Balkans return home after another defeat.
Abu Bakr’s great night is useless against Brazil. Vincent Abu Bakr is a 30-year-old who, after sacrificing his life as a wanderer in Europe, went to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr last year, but still had an unforgettable night in football’s biggest stage. In a game Brazil has already tackled given Monday’s round-of-16 clash against South Korea, the Cameroon forward crossed in extra time and gave his country an unexpected victory over the five-time world champions.
Stephanie Frappart is established as a major pioneer in women’s refereeing at the Qatar World Cup. “I need to channel these amazing emotions,” said Stephanie Frappart, after learning last Wednesday that she would become the first woman in history to officiate a World Cup match. The 38-year-old Frenchwoman was appointed to officiate the 44th World Cup match in Qatar, no less than Germany and Costa Rica, decisive to decide the Group E classification.
