South Korea captain Park Ji-sung was all smiles as his team reached their goal of making it to the last 16 of the World Cup.

The Manchester United midfielder earned the man-of-the-match award after his side's entertaining 2-2 draw against Nigeria on Tuesday night which secured second place in Group B and booked a meeting with Uruguay in the knock-out round on Saturday.

"Our goal was to reach the round of 16 and for the first time, we have done this away from home," said a proud Park. "We are very pleased we have achieved this in South Africa."
