The Asians had played out to a barren draw with Uruguay in their opening game, while Ghana fell to a 3-2 defeat to Portugal.

Son was clearly devastated after the game and was emotional, but no way the Ghana staff were going to pass on an opportunity to take a picture with the Tottenham Hotspur star.

South Korea will face Portugal in their last game, as Ghana seeks revenge against their 2010 tormentors Uruguay.

Sports Brief has also reported that Kudus became the first Ghanaian to score two goals in a single World Cup game, as the Black Stars edged out South Korea in a thrilling five-goal affair.

After surviving an early onslaught from the Taegeuk Warriors, the Black Stars weathered the storm and drew first blood through Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu.

The West Africans upped the ante and scored the second through Kudus before half-time. However, a remarkable fightback from the Tigers of Asia in the opening 15 minutes of the second half saw them level the score.
