There were two surprising comebacks in one match, a repeat of recent history, and a cracking goal on TUE 13 JUN 2006.
» Korea Rep 02-01 Togo: Otto PFISTER had just returned to the Togo side after a short lived resignation, but he may well be unemployed again after a late collapse. The Hawks wasted Mohamed KADER's first half goal when Jean-Paul ABALO was sent off for a second yellow. LEE Chun-Soo scored on the resulting free kick, and AHN Jung-Hwan put away the winner to give Korea Rep first place in Group G.
» France 00-00 Switzerland: They drew twice in UEFA group 4 qualifying, and Tranquillo BARNETTA's post-striking free kick notwithstanding, this match seemed destined to end up the same way.
» Brazil 01-00 Croatia: KAKÁ fired past Stipe PLETIKOSA from distance late in the first half, and Brazil held on to defeat Croatia and keep pace with Australia in Group F.
