A place in the knockout stage of the World Cup could well end up being decided by South Africa's clash with South Korea.
Claiming at least a draw would be good enough to guarantee progress for South Korea as the second-placed side in Group A behind Mexico - though, they cannot overhaul the tournament co-hosts at the top of the table no matter what.
But a surprise first win of the competition for South Africa could be enough to put them into second instead, depending on the Czech Republic's result against Mexico - and even if not, they'd be in a decent position to go through as one of the better third-placed sides.

BBC commentary line-up for South Africa vs South Korea
The game is set to kick off at 7pm local time (2am UK time) at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico.
The BBC hold the rights to show the match, and will air this clash on BBC Two, with the Czech Republic vs Mexico match being played simultaneously on another BBC broadcast.
There will be no pundit or presenter line-up for the clash, following a recent trend with late-night British time fixtures.
The broadcaster did not produce a line-up for Haiti vs Morocco earlier this evening, due to it being played simultaneously to Brazil vs Scotland.
