South Korea's team, the deus ex machina, scored twice in the final minutes of the game against Germany. Die Mannschaft, as Germany's team is nicknamed, had won the last World Cup in 2014 and were favourites to win this year.

The result saw Germany eliminated from the tournament, and El Tri, as Mexico's team is called, progress to the next stage of the World Cup in extraordinary circumstances.

Suitably, the result sent Mexican fans into pure ecstasy. Outside the South Korean embassy in Mexico City, fans chanted "Corea, hermano, ya eres Mexicano," which translates to "Korea, brother, you're now Mexican."
