116'
116'
Italy - defensive and dour - are out at the hands of the co-hosts, whose spirit and vibrance, so evident throughout the competition so far, has carried them through
116'
An amazing moment - the moment of the World Cup for my money. The crowd have gone absolutely crazy, even South Korea's heroic players can't believe what's just happened
116'
The ball is crossed in and Ahn Jung-Hwan - the man who missed the penalty - heads past Buffon. South Korea have an incredible golden goal winner!
116'
Long ball forward for Italy - nothing particularly menacing about that and South Korea will break...
115'
Choi Jun-Chul is booked for a foul which gives Italy a free-kick halfway inside the South Korea half
114'
Just over five minutes until this game goes to penalties - can either side conjure up a late winner?
113'
...and South Korea once again cope well in defence
113'
Lee Woon-Jae produces a top-drawer save, turning the ball over the crossbar. It will be a corner...
112'
Fine defending from South Korea... but then Gattuso gets through after an error by Seol Ki-Hyun...
111'
Hwang Sun-Hong has a great chance from a header - but puts it too close to Buffon. Italy, reprieved, win a free-kick midway inside their opponents' half
110'
...and Italy get the block. Vieri looks to have freed Tomassi, but the offside flag is up. A scare for South Korea
109'
Italy are penalised for another foul - this time on Cha Doo-Ri... Lee Young-Pyo takes it on...
108'
...the cross comes in and Buffon claims it
107'
It's a good ball in - but South Korea deal with that. Panucci plays it in again, but Vieri is penalised for a foul and here comes Cha Doo-Ri...
107'
Vieri shields the ball well and Di Livio plays it forward... Gattuso is flattened and that's a free-kick to the Italians
106'
Buffon kicks downfield - South Korea win the ball back, but an attempted through pass is overhit
105'
105'
Hwang Sun-Hong has a chance to cross, but that's far too long and goes out for a goal-kick
104'
Totti trudges off the field in disbelief, and the momentum is shifting towards South Korea
103'
Totti breaks into the area and falls under challenge - he has already been booked and receives a second yellow for diving. Italy are down to ten men
103'
It's cleared and then played back in... Buffon claims it well
102'
The ball is hit low by Hwang Sun-Hong and Buffon tips it away. So close... corner to South Korea
101'
It's very central - Buffon lines up the wall...
101'
Park Ji-Sung is brought down by Maldini some 25 yards out - he evaded a couple of challenges in a dazzling run
100'
The co-hosts are really upping the tempo of their game and Italy are on the back foot at the moment
100'
The free-kick is well met and South Korea steam forward again... only to give the ball away
99'
Yellow card for Lee Chun-Soo, who is penalised for a high challenge
98'
Cha Doo-Ri crosses and Ahn Jung-Hwan is unable to turn on the ball. South Korea really going for it now
97'
...and Choi Jun-Chul makes an excellent challenge to stop Totti from breaking away
96'
Seol Ki-Hyun now... his cross is dealt with by Coco, but at the expense of a corner... it's headed back across and hacked away
95'
South Korea's turn - Panucci heads clear from the cross
95'
...but Italy come forward again through Gattuso, whose through ball is overhit
94'
It's overhit, but Coco will try to play the ball back in. Lee Woon-Jae holds on well under pressure
94'
Totti sparks a good move with a neat touch - Di Livio crosses and now Italy can swing in a corner
93'
Italy finally get the ball clear, and have a free-kick in midfield
92'
It's a poor delivery, but deflects behind for another corner - soon followed by yet another. Good pressure from South Korea
92'
He may do - South Korea win the first corner of this extra period...
91'
Totti flicks the ball through to Vieri, whose cross is blocked. Will he live to regret that glaring late miss?
90'
Massive volume from the stands: Italy get extra time under way. They can hardly have been expecting it...
90'
90'
Seol Ki-Hyun gets through and lashes in a shot - it hits the side-netting
90'
From it, Cha Doo-Ri gets in a overhead kick which is straight at Buffon. Either side of him, and that would surely have been a winner
90'
Superb late drama - Cha Doo-Ri wins a stoppage-time corner for South Korea...
89'
...but it's nearly snatched away - Vieri somehow blazing over the bar from six yards out. Amazing finale
88'
The crowd, unsurprisingly, has gone absolutely wild. For sheer effort against determinedly defensive opponents, they deserve it...
88'
From that, South Korea fashion a late, late equaliser - Seol Ki-Hyun takes advantage of a scramble and fires low into the corner. It's 1-1!
87'
...and Italy go straight to the other end, winning a free-kick of their own. The keeper claims and sets his side on the move forward
87'
Another burst of noise from the stands... the South Koreans have a free-kick, but once more the Italy defence proves impossible to break through
86'
South Korea clear and Zanetti's shot from distance is over the top
86'
Gattuso may even have given them a chance to extend it - he wins a corner down the right
85'
A loose pass forward gives Italy the ball again: they're looking very likely to hold onto this lead
84'
Another cross comes in, and Buffon is again in the right place to claim
83'
He introduces Cha Doo-Ri and takes off Hong Myung-Bo: South Korea add another forward to the mix
82'
It looks as though another South Korea change is in the offing - last throw of the dice for Hiddink...
81'
...and it's hit too long: a gift for Italy keeper Buffon, who claims with ease
81'
Free-kick to the co-hosts: it's wide on the left...
80'
At the other end, good strength from Vieri gives him the chance to have a go at goal - it's straight at Lee Woon-Jae, however
79'
Long goal-kick from South Korea - it leads to a mad scramble inside the area and Seol Ki-Hyun can't quite get there
78'
In the end, he tries to take on one defender too many and the charge is blocked
78'
Italy in possession, and Totti makes a superb run towards the Korean area...
77'
That, too, is headed clear - South Korea anticipating the delivery to the near post. The fans are trying their best to lift them as the last ten minutes approach
76'
They break through Vieri, whose shot is deflected onto the roof of the net. Corner at the other end
76'
He takes it himself and Italy, again, are resolute
75'
Song Chong-Gug does well on the right, and wins a corner for South Korea...
74'
...but shoots wide from a very promising position. That should probably have wrapped things up
73'
They won't increase it like that - Totti blazes over and then Vieri goes through...
73'
And they are looking more and more comfortable, even though their lead is only 1-0
72'
Zambrotta, who has taken a knock, will be replaced by Angelo Di Livio... Italy have a free-kick midway inside the South Korea half
71'
He has had an impeccable game, and Korea have found it very hard to get behind such a well-drilled defensive unit
70'
Korea coming forward again - Maldini swoops on the low ball across the face of the box and brings it out of defence
69'
Ahn Jung-Hwan can't get the ball out from under his feet inside the area after a good cross: the chance goes begging
68'
It comes to nothing, and now the switch will be made - Lee Chun-Soo is on and Kim Nam-Il goes off
67'
Injury problsm for South Korea... they will have to make a change soon. In the meantime, Italy have won a corner and Totti will take it
66'
Zambrotta crosses low: that's cleared before it can reach the lurking Italy strikers
65'
Gattuso is felled midway inside the South Korea half and Lee Woon-Jae is in the right place to claim from the free-kick
64'
Italy are clearly quite happy with the lead they have - it's up to South Korea to find an answer to their solidly defensive approach
64'
...but it's poor - not for the first time from him - and South Korea clear with no problems
63'
In the meantime, Italy have a free-kick - Zambrotta's shirt was being pulled. Panucci will cross this one in...
62'
Hwang Sun-Hong comes on and Kim Tae-Young makes way for him
62'
Here come South Korea... Ahn Jung-Hwan's cross is blocked and now South Korea are going to make a substitution
61'
Del Piero is taken off and Gennaro Gattuso comes on in his place
61'
Around half an hour left for South Korea to salvage their World Cup hopes... Italy will make a change...
60'
Ahn Jung-Hwan hammers in a shot - it's over the top, but the referee had spotted a foul in any case
59'
Three over the ball for South Korea...
58'
Coco then gives away another free-kick in very dangerous territory - this one's inside the D...
57'
The bandaged Coco breaks down the left: South Korea block and break, and Maldini cleverly flicks the ball off the player behind him to win a throw
57'
Italy carrying a threat on the counter, and if they were to get a second goal that would surely seal a place in the last eight
56'
Zambrotta crosses on the break and Del Piero hits it - Choi Jun-Chul blocks well for South Korea
55'
Here come Korea once more... Buffon reacts well to grasp an early cross
55'
The ball is played in and Maldini is there to clear
54'
Manager Guus Hiddink is prowling the touchline: Tomassi is booked for a crunching challenge on Lee Young-Pyo
54'
Still the Koreans are finding it difficult to carve out a clear chance
53'
Buffon lines up the wall - Yoo Sang-Chul strikes a shot goalwards after a square ball and Italy block
52'
Still plenty of volume from the fans: they're buoyed by the award of a free-kick right on the edge of the area. Ahn Jung-Hwan the player challenged...
51'
Free-kick to Italy, wide on the right. South Korea back in numbers, and Lee Woon-Jae claims
50'
He gets away with it, however, and South Korea have possession once more
49'
Del Piero gets into the area... he fouls Kim Tae-Young, who reacts angrily and appears to have used an elbow...
49'
...but now they must defend an Italy free-kick - Del Piero fouled
48'
Snappy play from the co-hosts - they're looking to up the tempo as they try to make inroads into Italy's defence
48'
Seol Ki-Hyun tries to carve out a chance, but again Maldini is on the spot for the Italians
47'
Lee Young-Pyo has possession for South Korea on the left, and wins a throw
46'
It causes one or two scares for Italy, but they get it clear and Del Piero charges forward... Tomassi's cross is blocked
45'
The second half is under way - Korea look to move forward quickly and play in an early cross...
45'
45'
Totti takes a tumble under challenge - free-kick. The heavily-bandaged Coco is back on
45'
Into stoppage time at the end of the first half... South Korea still looking for inspiration
45'
The corner is hammered away by Maldini as the temporarily depleted Italians do well... Ahn Jung-Hwan drives in a low shot, which Buffon holds
44'
He's receiving treatment inside the area... and soon has to leave the pitch
43'
That leads to another corner, and Coco has a cut above his eye after a tangle from the first set-piece...
42'
Ahn Jung-Hwan hits it - the ball deflects wide and it's a corner...
42'
Can there be more of a threat here? Zanetti is penalised for a foul some 30 yards out and this could be a dangerous free-kick
41'
They've kept the South Korean threat to a minimum since the early stages
40'
Seol Ki-Hyun on the far side of the area - more strong defending by Italy
39'
Del Piero and Tomassi link, but Zambrotta is caught offside as he tries to continue the move
38'
They try to take advantage of it by coming forward, but the ball drifts out of play
37'
...and Lee Woon-Jae races off his line to make a superb block - that could be a crucial moment for South Korea
37'
Totti hammers in a shot from the follow-up, and it's blocked by the Korean defence - Tomassi goes in on goal after a Totti through ball...
37'
From the goal-kick, Italy win themselves a free-kick: Panucci crosses, but with no quality
36'
...he fires in a shot which fizzes over the top, but that's an encouraging moment for the co-hosts
35'
South Korea on the ball inside their own half - now it's inside the area and Ahn Jung-Hwan turns brilliantly...
34'
...Italy again deal with that coolly and break - until Park Ji-Sung steps in once more
33'
Italy are starting to look comfortable, but here comes Park Ji-Sung... he wins a throw near the area
32'
Tomassi is penalised for shirt-pulling, but South Korea make a mess of the free-kick... they're finding it tough to make much impact up front at the moment
31'
Still they have the ball... now it goes forward, but it's misdirected and drifts out
30'
Lee Young-Pyo does well, winning the ball back and making sure South Korea keep possession
29'
Del Piero looks up, 25 yards out - and promptly scuffs a disappointing shot wide of the target
28'
Possession play now - it ends when Hong Myung-Bo heads clear
27'
Panucci on the ball for Italy - it's played long downfield and Totti takes over
26'
Back to the keeper from South Korea: they're not panicking, and there's some patient passing going on
25'
Signs that the co-hosts are recovering from the shaky spell that followed Italy's goal
24'
Crossing chance for South Korea - Iuliano makes it his with a good header
24'
Zambrotta makes an enterprising run down the right. His low cross is cleared and Ahn Jung-Hwan moves forward... Maldini is there to cover
23'
Ahn Jung-Hwan is blocked as he runs towards the penalty area... Italy look forward, but that pass won't cause any problems
22'
Korea play it forward, but it seems they are a bit shaken by events... Totti is booked for a heavy challenge on Kim Nam-Il
21'
Vieri looks to make room for a shot, which flies wide - the referee had blown for a foul in any case
21'
It didn't take long for the supporters to recover - there's plenty of noise around the stadium again
20'
Another Italy free-kick inside the South Korea half, but the ball goes out of play as Zambrotta looks for space and time down the right
19'
That's temporarily stunned the massed ranks of South Korea fans - their side have missed a penalty and now trail... can they respond?
18'
In it comes, and Vieri is on the spot to head powerfully into the top corner. Italy lead 1-0!
18'
The keeper punches clear under presure, but Totti gets the ball back and wins a corner...
17'
It's a bright, open start to the game so far. Kim Tae-Young is booked for a challenge from behind. Del Piero crosses from the free-kick...
16'
Seol Ki-Hyun shows fine control to chest the ball down inside the area, and his low cross is cleared by Maldini
15'
Totti hits it and it rebounds clear off his team-mate Tommasi
15'
Totti having a look at this one - South Korea have plenty in the wall
15'
Here come Italy - Del Piero falls under a challenge on the edge of the box and this is a dangerous free-kick
14'
Buffon comes out of his area to head clear from a through ball. Forward it goes, and Vieri is caught offside
13'
Vieri flicks on, but keeper Lee Woon-Jae is there to take that
12'
Zanetti hoofs clear under pressure: South Korea, as they have throughout the tournament, are playing at a high tempo
11'
Lee Young-Pyo runs down the left, but there's nowhere for him to go and that one's out of play for an Italian throw
10'
Tomassi frees Vieri down the left - he attempts a shot, but it curls past the far post
9'
He's taken off the pitch for treatment... meantime, Del Piero has the ball but South Korea win it once more
8'
Kim Tae-Young is down after a challenge by Vieri - he looks a little bit dazed
7'
The Koreans snap in to win the ball again... neither crowd nor team look deflated by that early penalty drama
7'
But then his goal-kick goes straight out of play and it's an Italy throw
6'
Italy come to the other end and win a corner - Totti takes and Lee Woon-Jae claims well
6'
High drama at the start of the game - and it's the second time South Korea have failed to score from the spot in this World Cup
5'
...and Buffon produces a fine low save to tip the ball round the post
5'
What a start to the game - Ahn Jung-Hyun to take it...
4'
...it's crossed in and Seol Ki-Hyun is adjudged to have been pushed. Penalty to South Korea in the opening stages...
3'
Yoo Sang-Chul produces a great interception in midfield. Francesco Coco challenges Park Ji-Sung out wide and gives away a free-kick
3'
Italy win it back, but the ball forward is aimless and straight through to keeper Lee Woon-Jae
2'
Then Seol Ki-Hyun tries to run at the Italy defence, but he's crowded out... here come South Korea again...
1'
Zambrotta crosses towards Vieri, but it's just too high for the striker
1'
...but the ball is soon with South Korea and they launch it forward - it zips out for a throw-in
And Italy get us under way - they're playing the ball around at the back
Huge volume from the crowd - kick-off just seconds away now. South Korea's team huddle is huddling on the far side...
Can the co-hosts go through following Japan's exit from the competition earlier today?
A fantastic atmosphere and a fantastic sight - the stadium is a sea of South Korean red
