"I knew that we could do it. I think I will forever be moved by what happened in South Africa," Chun said after watching the game which secured South Korea a position in the round of 16, the country's first time to make the advancement in a World Cup away game.

South Korea tied 2-2 against Nigeria, the first goal scored by Lee Jung-soo and the second by Park Chu-young.
