Teams like South Korea, Ghana, and Uruguay kept an eye on the last group
game since they still had a chance to go to the knockout stages. Since
Portugal had already qualified for the knockout stages, this match was
meaningless for them. But during South Korea’s game versus Portugal, there
was a moment of controversy. It was in the second half, in the 65th minute,
as Cristiano Ronaldo was ready to be replaced, that he got into an
altercation with an opponent player. The 37-year-old explained to the press
that the incident happened in the “heat of the moment” with a South Korean
player.
