(Reuters) - South Korea benefited from a terrible late error by Spanish goalkeeper Ainhoa Tirapu to grab a 2-1 win in their women's World Cup Group E game on Wednesday and secure a second round game against France.
Tirapu somehow allowed a looping cross from defender Kim Soo-yun to sail over her head and into the net in the 78th minute, ensuring South Korea qualified in second place with four points. Leaders Brazil won all their three games.
The win means South Korea have made it out of the group stage at the World Cup for the first time.
