Tychy: Korea Republic earned their first win at the 2019 FIFA World Cup Poland on Tuesday, and head coach Chung Jung-yong doesn't want his side relying on the help of other teams as they head into the final group stage fixture.
After a narrow 1-0 defeat to two-time champions Portugal in their opening match, the young Taeguk Warriors revived their hopes of a top two finish in Group F after beating South Africa with the same scoreline on Tuesday.
Kim Hyun-woo's strike in the 69th minute proved to be the difference at the Tychy Stadium.
Argentina lead the standings with six points, followed by Korea Republic in second place, who are level with the Portuguese on three points but ahead on goal difference.

Tychy: Qatar's 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup Poland got off to a losing start as Nigeria beat the West Asians 4-0 in their opening Group D match at the Tychy Stadium on Friday.
The Flying Eagles, runners-up to a Joao Pinto-propelled Portugal in 1989 and a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina in 2005, soared 2-0 up inside 25 minutes – and both goals were indebted to their left-back.
Ikouwem Utin duped his marker and unleashed a swerving shot, which Shehab Mamdouh could only push into the path of Maxwell Effiom, whose first-time volley broke the deadlock in the 12th minute.
The Nigeria No 3 then somehow sprung four challenges down the left and cut the ball back to present Okechukwa Offia with a comfortable finish from close range in the 24th minute.
