'Emotional games for Ghana'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder on BBC One
Ghana as a side have had two very emotional games. There was the disappointment in the last one and this time they were on the other side, I can understand their celebrations.
South Korea came out second half and were so much better. They're devastated because they feel they deserved a point.
Ghana are great fun
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
My World Cup journey so far:
Senegal 0-2 Netherlands.
Mexico 0-0 Poland.
Belgium 1-0 Canada.
Portugal 3-2 Ghana.
Tunisia 0-1 Australia.
Japan 0-1 Costa Rica.
South Korea 2-3 Ghana.
I'm going to ask my boss if I can do Ghana again. Great fun to cover.
First in 40 years
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Ghana (5 scored, 5 conceded) are the first nation in 40 years to have both scored and conceded at least five goals after their opening two matches of a specific World Cup. In 1982, Hungary and Scotland were the most recent nations to do so.
'Ghana showed fight'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Didier Drogba
Former Ivory Coast striker on BBC One
Most of these groups are going to be really, really tight. Ghana found the energy to get back in front after losing the two-goal lead. That shows the fight in this team.
'This group is wide open'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Clinton Morrison
Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
If Uruguay go on and beat Portugal then anyone can win the group. That game this evening could be really interesting.
This group is wide open and it is like that with a lot of other groups left in the competition.
'Everyone was on top of their game'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Ghana's Mohammed Kudus: "It's a good feeling. We wanted the three points and we got them. Everyone was absolutely on top of their game today. They came back to 2-2, we had to come up with more energy and it happened.
"I want to thank all my team-mates, it's a team game and they all played a part in my performance. The cross in from Jordan [Ayew] and the cut-back from Inaki [Williams]. Big up to everyone because everyone played a part."
On the Uruguay game: "We're fully confident. We came in with the same mentality, we'll go in with 100%."
'Impressive reaction'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Didier Drogba
Former Ivory Coast striker on BBC One
Ghana is a big nation of football. They don't have the big names like Michael Essien and that generation, they had a difficult African Cup of Nations a few months ago, they really needed a good start here, lost to Portugal but I really liked their reaction today.
As it stands
Today: Portugal v Uruguay (19:00 GMT).
Friday: Ghana v Uruguay (15:00) & South Korea v Portugal (15:00).
'Drama written all over it'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Andy Cryer
BBC Sport in Qatar
What a game.
Talk about a contrast in emotions at the final whistle. Ghana players in ecstasy as the subs and staff race on to the pitch to embrace their colleagues,
While some South Korea players drop the floor and the others surround the referee, furious they weren't allowed time to take the corner.
Ghana v Uruguay anyone? Now, that has drama written all over it.
Revenge mission
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
This is a huge win for the Black Stars as defeat would have put them out.
Now it's on to Friday and a revenge mission against Uruguay (15:00 GMT).
Twelve years ago, Ghana and Uruguay created one of the most dramatic and controversial moments in World Cup history when the Black Stars were the width of a crossbar away from becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals.

'Credit to South Korea'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder on BBC One
There was a lot of panic in the television studio at the end. That is credit to what South Korea did in the second half and the amount of pressure they put on the Ghana goal near the end was telling.
'You can feel Paulo Bento's frustration'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Clinton Morrison
Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
You can feel Paulo Bento's frustration as he thought it would be a corner. I would be the same.
Post update
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Got a feeling South Korea's boss might have a few words of criticism for Anthony Taylor in his news conference. The English ref really upset them by blowing his final whistle before they could take a corner as they chased an equaliser.
'Huge win for Ghana'
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Jonathan Pearce
Football commentator on BBC TV
This is a huge, huge win for Ghana. Two goals for Kudus after Cho had turned the game on its head. South Korea are fuming that there was no time to take the corner. They're surrounding Anthony Taylor.
They're not out but they will need a huge result against Portugal.
Post update
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Contrasting emotions at both ends of the pitch. There are South Korea fans in tears while Ghana's fans are doing what they have done for the past 90 minutes - partying!
RED CARD
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
South Korea boss Paulo Bento is shown a red card for protesting after the final whistle. He's furious.
Post update
FT: South Korea 2-3 Ghana
Bedlam on the pitch at the final whistle. Anthony Taylor is surrounded by South Korea's players. They had won a corner right at the death but Taylor blew his full-time whistle before it could be taken.
