World Cup 2018: 5 best and worst players as Mexico beat South Korea

#4 Worst - Kim Young-Gwon

Kim was unaware and seemingly out of his depth as part of Korea's backline

The sheer fact that Kim Young-Gwon was not Korea's worst performer further highlights the fact they did not deserve to win this game.

Their defence lacked much conviction and conceded far too many opportunities - half chances and clear-cut - so defenders struggled to keep Mexico's frontline at bay and it showed.

Kim, 28, was one of only two starting defenders across the pitch not to have completed a tackle during the 90 minutes. That in itself is a damning statistic, not least during a game of this magnitude for Korea: win or go home. His three clearances were coupled with three fouls too, which saw him unsurprisingly greeted with a second-half booking. Disappointing.
