South Korea head into their final Group H match against Portugal at the 2022 World Cup on Friday knowing it is a must-win fixture.

South Korea could only manage a goalless draw with Uruguay before losing to Ghana and must get their first win of the tournament to be in with a chance of progressing to the last 16.
