Half time!
Referee calls it time bringing an end to a good half of football. Mexico have the lead after Vela calmly dispatched a corner midway through the half.

South Korea cannot afford another defeat in the tournament and will have to respond strongly in the second half.

Lee Yong is down on the ground and writhing in pain. It doesn't look good for South Korea who have already lost players to injury in this tournament. Yong however is able to continue and comes on after receiving some quick treatment.
31'
South Korea win a free-kick 30 yards out but Son's delivery is well over the bar. He has been wasteful with the opportunities that have come his way so far.
