South Korea Uses Up Heroics In Extra Time, Japan To Final

119th minute, and Im done banging on about the horribly controversial/terrible Japanese penalty which saw them through to the Asian Cup final against the winner of Australia and Uzbekistan.

Scrum in the box and suddenly were going to penalties. As late as late could possibly be, and South Korea managed to stay alive for just a bit longer.

Just a bit, though, and then they completely fell apart, missing all three of their penalties. South Korea thus had every chance to win of their own accord, but that likely wont stop the clamoring in the press for the referees head on a platter after he awarded Japan that fairly terrible penalty. Of course South Koreas first half penalty was fairly similar in the nature of the foul itself, but very importantly inside the box on a playable ball.

Those Blue Samurai are never far away with a bit of late drama you may want to start watching Sundays final round the 75th minute.
