Match Report: -
After a stalemate first half, Germany took the lead on the 75 minute mark through recently booked Michael Ballack. He got booked just before his goal which means he will play no further part in this tournament as he now misses the final through suspension. He has to be gutted.
Germany rub salt in the wounds to England further as they win their 3rd consecutive game 1-0. South Korea were just not strong enough and really didn't show their best qualities as they crash out of the tournament.
A disappointed South Korea as Germany secure their place in the final and stop any more shock wins.
