FBL-WC-2018-MATCH43-KOR-GER
Hyeonwoo was a rock in the match against Germany.

The South Korean goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo was the most notable player in their famous 2-0 victory over reigning champions Germany. His man of the match performance saw saving all six attempts made by the Germans. Demonstrating quick reflexes with some astounding saves, Jo won the praise of many. Currently playing in the second division club Daegu Fc in the Korean League, the talented 26-year-old will soon be seen in much higher leagues.

Jo, who started in all of Korea's group stage matches faced a total of 16 shots on goal and saved 13 of them in an astonishing manner. He was third on the list of goalkeepers with most saves after the group stage matches, with an impressive save rate of 81.2%. It is an incredible achievement for a player from a second division club, and surely that is not where he belongs to. It will not be long before we see him in one of Europe's high profile leagues.
