Early on, South Korea is dominating the game. They have had 60% possession of the ball while testing Ghana's defence. They’ll be looking for their Zorro-esque captain, Son, to make something happen here.

Cameroon has lost five straight games after narrowly losing 1-0 to Switzerland.  It's a do-or-die match for both Cameroon and Serbia.

Cameroon predicted lineup: Onana; Fai, Castelletto, N'Koulou, Tolo; Ondoua, Anguissa, Hongla; Mbeumo, Toko Ekambi, Choupo-Moting
