## Resource

South Korea’s World Cup hopes hang in the balance after a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Mexico, despite captain Son Heung-Min’s record-breaking 147 caps and near-goal moment. Still second in the group with three points, they control their fate heading into their final match against South Africa — a win could secure their place in the Round of 32. Son, South Korea’s second all-time top scorer and MLS assist leader, continues to lead the charge as the team fights to keep their tournament dreams alive.
