WORLD CUP 2018: Germany eliminated after South Korea loss

Germany have been eliminated from the 2018 World Cup after losing 2-0 to South Korea in Kazan.

It is the first time Die Mannschaft haven't advanced past the group stage since 1938.

Kim Young-gwon's 92nd-minute goal was awarded after a video assistant referee decision. The South Korean was ruled offside, but replays showed the ball had hit Niklas Sule before arriving at the feet of Young-gwon, who duly rifled past Manuel Neuer.

Then six minutes into stoppage time, Neuer launched himself up the park. His absence was capitalised upon by South Korea, who sent the ball forward where Heung-min Son was waiting. The Spurs forward having no trouble tapping in the goal that sent Germany out of the World Cup.

The Koreans have now finished third in Group F, as Joachim Low's side occupy bottom place.
