South Korea can progress from wide-open group, says Park Ji-sung

The Asian side are not heavily fancied, but Germany's loss to Mexico has blown Group F wide open

South Korea legend Park Ji-sung believes low expectations could help his country in a group that has been blown wide open by Mexico's shock win over Germany.

Hirving Lozano scored the only goal of the game as Mexico edged past the reigning champions in Moscow on Sunday, cranking up the pressure ahead of South Korea's clash with Sweden on Monday.

Most expected Germany to win Group F at a canter with the other three sides left to battle it out for second place.
