Goodbye

How's you blood pressure? We're off for a lie-down in a dark room.

Another day at the World Cup, another day dripping in drama.

And it's not over yet.

Head over here for build-up to Cameroon-Brazil and Serbia-Switzerland.

You can read Chris Bevan's report of how South Korea reached the last 16 in the most dramatic of circumstances here.

And here is Shamoon Hafez's report on Ghana-Uruguay.

Thanks for your company. Until next time...

How the last 16 looks...

Here's how the last 16 is shaping up with one group left to be decided.

South Korea will face the winner of Group G, which would be Brazil as it stands:

• Netherlands v USA
• Argentina v Australia
• France v Poland
• England v Senegal
• Japan v Croatia
• Group G winner v South Korea
• Morocco v Spain
• Portugal v Group G runner-up

South Korea's late, late show

Following Hwang Hee-chan’s 90th minute winner, four of South Korea's last seven goals at the World Cup have been scored in the 90th minute or later.

Tears of joy

Later...

Group G is the final group to be decided in Qatar.

Brazil are already assured of a place in the last 16, but who will join them?

Second-placed Switzerland must beat Serbia to guarantee their progress, while a point would be enough if Cameroon fail to beat Brazil.

Serbia and Cameroon both need to win their respective games to keep alive their qualification hopes.

There will be high expectations after how the last few nights have gone!

BBC

It really has been an incredible conclusion to the group stages.

Thankfully, there's still more to come...

'Brilliant drama'

Fancy Uruguay taking their strikers off. Has the manager not been watching these group finale games. Anything can happen. And it has! Brilliant drama.

StickyToffee-Lewin: That run from Hwang was insane. He absolutely belted up the pitch for that goal. Lung busting doesn't even come close

Watch: Uruguay penalty appeals

Uruguay had penalty appeals of their own dismissed, as Darwin Nunez and then Edinson Cavani went down in the Ghana penalty area.

The referee took a long look at the first on the pitchside monitor, but he wasn't interested in the other.

South Korea's winning goal by Hwang Hee-chan was officially timed at 90 minutes and 31 seconds. Talk about leaving it late...

Watch: Ayew misses penalty

But there was far more to this match than the scoreline.

Twelve years after Asamoah Gyan's penalty miss against Uruguay, history repeated itself.

Here are the Giorgian de Arrascaeta goals that had put Uruguay on course for the knockout stages.

Group stage exit again for Ghana

Ghana had been hoping to make it three African nations in the World Cup last 16 for the first time.

But they have now failed to qualify past the group stage in their last two appearances, also going out at this stage in 2014.

That's after the Black Stars advanced to the knockouts in their first two appearances in 2006 and 2010.

Uruguay were cruising into the last 16 until Hwang Hee-chan's sensational injury-time winner against Portugal helped South Korea leapfrog the South Americans.

There were unsavoury scenes at the full-time whistle as the Uruguay players and staff surrounded the referee.

Edinson Cavani and Jose Gimenez both received yellow cards after the final whistle.

It's the first time Uruguay have failed to advance to the knockout stages of the World Cup in four editions.
