- Kuhn: We were lucky
Switzerland coach Jakob Kuhn thought his side had been fortunate to beat Korea Republic 2-0 in their final Group G match.
The result ensured the Swiss topped the group and now face Ukraine in the last 16 but Kuhn thought luck had been with his side.
"It was a very intense match, Korea Republic are a good team and we were a bit lucky at times, but we deserved the win I think overall," he said.
Korea Republic coach Dick Advocaat said: "We knew beforehand that on set-pieces they would be dangerous and they were, the Swiss controlled the game in the first half.
"In the second half we deserved more than nothing. We were just not good enough in the end.
"Most of the decisions didn't go our way and some were not to our liking."
