AL RAYYAN, Qatar — The sign said it all. Hwang Hee-chan got the message. A young South Korea fan held up a sign that read "One More Goal" during halftime of the team's match against Portugal at the World Cup. The teams were even at 1-1 at the time but the South Koreans needed another goal to earn a spot in the round of 16. Hwang delivered the dramatic goal in stoppage time to lift South Korea to a 2-1 victory and its third trip to the knockout stage of the World Cup. Hwang says "I'm glad I was able to give this present to the fans."
