vs South Korea LIVE!

Hwang Hee-chan scored the winning penalty after Hyeon-Woo Jo made two shootout saves as South Korea held their nerve to beat Saudi Arabia in the last-16 of the Asian Cup.

The first-half was a relatively uneventful affair, until Saudi Arabia twice hit the bar in a matter of seconds before the break. Saleh Al Shehri thundered an effort against the woodwork from a corner, and Ali Lajami then looped a header of his own onto the bar from the rebound. Roberto Mancini introduced Abdullah Radif at half-time and it proved an inspired decision, as the forward opened the scoring 32 seconds after the restart, finishing brilliantly after Salem Al Dawsari's flick played him through on goal.

Cho Gue-sung dramatically headed home in the 99th minute to equalise and send the match to extra-time. The scoreboard was not troubled again as a heavyweight last-16 clash went to the spot, where Sami Al Najei and Abdulrahman Ghareeb both had their penalties saved. South Korea had no such issues, converting their first three to set the stage for Hwang to seal a 4-2 shootout win and book a quarter-final date against Australia.
