A stunning strike from Brazil defender Maicon broke the deadlock against North Korea after the Asian minnows had gone into the break level. Maicon drilled a shot home from a tight angle before Elano added the second, but Ji Yun-Nam got the first consolation of the tournament to make it a memorable night for the Koreans.

Maicon and Elano scored two fine goals but the real story is that strike by Ji. No one gave North Korea a hope, but they came within one goal of Brazil. As coach Kim hoped, they did their country proud.

p/s: Whatever happens now, the name Ji Yun-nam will go down in history in North Korea. It's a great story.
