10 Biggest World Cup Upsets Of All Time

10. South Korea 2 - 0 Germany (2018)

After an incredible showing in the 2014 tournament, Germany established themselves as the number one team in the world. They held onto that distinction for most of the inter-tournament period, and despite a disappointing showing at Euro 2016, were among the betting favourites heading into World Cup 2018.

After a surprising loss to Mexico that could've also earned a place on this list, Germany got back on track by beating Sweden in a hard fought match.

This meant a win against South Korea would be enough to earn a place in the knockout stages. The South Korean side, despite already being eliminated from the tournament having lost their first two games, we're not going to play along with the script.

Despite Germany attempting 28 shots throughout the course of the match, the South Korean defence proved impenetrable, with goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo pulling out several world-class saves.

The unfavoured Asian side were not content to just sit back and defend against the German onslaught. They countered effectively throughout the game and in the 92nd minute were rewarded for their efforts with a goal from Kim Young-gwon. The German team tried in vain to muster up a counter-attack but as goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was caught out of position, South Korea doubled their lead to give Germany their first group stage exit since 1938.
