Germany, Defending champions in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, have been knocked out of the tournament after they lost 2-0 to South Korea on Wednesday.

This is the first time Germany will be eliminated from the World Cup, since 1938.

South Korea’s Kim Young-Gwon scored in added time following a video review and Son Heung-min added another goal just before the final whistle.

The four-time winners were a shadow of their once dominant selves, managing only two goals in their three group games.

South Korea, also eliminated, had the best early chance of the game when Germany keeper, Manuel Neuer, spilt a free kick in the 19th minute but managed to recover quickly and slap the ball away.

Nervous Germany increased the pressure after the break and poured forward but despite a one-sided second half, they could not find the back of the net before South Korea’s last-gasp double.
