AL RAYYAN, Qatar (Reuters) - South Korea's late comebacks at the Asian Cup had earned them the tag of playing 'zombie football' after they always came back to life when they appeared dead, but it could also describe how they stumbled and eventually fell in the semi-final.
South Korea rode their luck when they scored goals after the 90th minute in four straight matches, with late strikes in the last 16 and quarter-finals forcing extra time against Saudi Arabia and Australia, respectively.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
