France 1-1 South Korea

South Korean fans arrive at the Zentralstadion in Leipzig hoping to cheer their side on to a first-ever win over France

Supporters from France are praying their side will not go a record-equalling fifth World Cup game without scoring

A cacophony of noise welcomes the Asian side onto the pitch as the South Korean fans get behind their side

But Thierry Henry momentarily silences the drums after taking Sylvain Wiltord's pass and opening the scoring for France

It is France's first World Cup goal since Emmanuel Petit's strike in the 3-0 win over Brazil in the 1998 final in Paris

France should be 2-0 up when Patrick Vieira's header appears to cross the line, but the officials rule otherwise

Midfielder Florent Malouda is at the centre of much of France's attacking play popping up all over the pitch

South Korea struggle to unlock the French defence, but are still in the game at only 1-0 down at the break

France appear content to sit on their lead, although the introduction of Franck Ribery injects some life into the game

However, the South Koreans snatch a shock late equaliser when Park Ji-Sung prods the ball over Fabien Barthez

As South Korea celebrate their goal, French defender William Gallas unleashes his frustration on the ball

There is still time for France to win the game, but South Korea keeper Lee Woon-Jae saves Henry's low shot

And the South Korea players acknowledge the amazing support of their fans after holding France to a 1-1 draw
