WATCH THE CLIP

It was heartbreak for Saudi as they led until the ninth minute of injury time before Cho Gue-Sung equalised and sent the game to extra-time. After a goalless additional 30 minutes, the two sides headed into the shootout and Mancini's side had Sami Al-Najei and Abdulrahman Ghareeb's penalties saved by Jo Hyeon-Woo. The saves were enough for South Korea as they stayed clinical and scored all their penalties, advancing through to the next round.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Italian took over from Herve Renard, who led the side in the 2022 World Cup, only a few months ago. Now, a lot of questions will certainly be raised over the 59-year-old's actions at the end of a hard-fought game.

WHAT NEXT FOR MANCINI?
