Placed third in Group H coming into this clash, South Korea needed to grab all three points against already-qualified Portugal and hope the result of GHAURU would be in their favour.
Ricardo Horta broke the deadlock in the opening five minutes but Kim Young-gwon helped the Asian side draw level in the 27th minute.
Paulo Bento's side kept pushing for the winner and were finally rewarded in injury time when Hwang Hee-Chan rifled home to send South Korea to the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.
