Belgium's third straight win at the World Cup clinched top spot in
Group H for the Red Devils and set up a meeting with the United States
in the round of 16.
Belgium lost Steven Defour to a red card in the 44th minute after the Porto midfielder's reckless tackle on Kim Shin-wook. South
Korea's best chance to score came before the hour mark when Lee
Chung-yong's cross-cum-shot hit the crossbar with Belgium goalkeeper
Thibaut Courtois already beaten.
The result eliminated South Korea, who had progressed past the group stages in two of the last three World Cups. With
Belgium having already advanced heading into the game, coach Marc
Wilmots rested some players and made seven changes to the team that beat
Russia 1-0.
Premier League players Kevin Mirallas and Adnan Januzaj both started.
