Kim Min-woo was the guilty man for South Korea as his foul forced the match officials consult the video assistant referee and award the penalty midway through the second half.

Kim had come on from the bench as a substitute for defender Park Joo-ho, who was injured and stretchered off the pitch in the 28th minute.

Sweden will next face reigning champions Germany, who were stunned by Mexico 1-0 on Sunday, in Sochi on Saturday, with South Korea taking on Mexico in Rostov-on-Don the same day.
