Korea's golden moment
Gianluigi Buffon saves Ahn Jung-Hwan's penatly
Early on Buffon proved to be Italy's saviour
Italy 1-2 South Korea

A golden goal from Ahn Jung-Hwan provided one of the World Cup's biggest shocks as South Korea knocked 10-man Italy out of the competition.

In 1966 Italy lost 1-0 to North Korea and 32 years later the Roman Empire was again shaken to its foundations by a Korean team.

The goal proved a wonderful climax for Ahn Jung-Hwan who had missed a 4th penalty for the Italians.

Christian Vieri had given Italy the lead in the 18th minute, but with just two minutes of normal time remaining Seol Ki-Hyeon sent the game into extra-time.
