South Africa made FIFA World Cup history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time with a 1-0 victory over South Korea in Monterrey. Substitute Thapelo Maseko scored the decisive goal in the 63rd minute after a brilliant assist from Teshpang Moremi, earning the Player of the Match award. South Africa had created several chances before the breakthrough, while South Korea's hopes faded despite the second-half introduction of Son Heung-min. The historic win sees Bafana Bafana finish as Group A runners-up and set up a Round of 32 clash against Canada in Los Angeles on June 28.
