The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar ended all group stage schedules on the 3rd (Korean time) with the final 3rd leg of Group G and Group H.
The British BBC cited the Group G match in which Cameroon defeated Brazil 1-0 as the 'biggest surprise' born in the group stage.
Brazil, which had already confirmed their advance to the round of 16, put in a 1.5 team against Cameroon and unilaterally drove it, but Cameroonian goalkeeper Devis Epassi made a save and failed to open the goal.
Rather, Cameroon's Vincent Abubakar scored the winning goal from a counterattack in extra time in the second half.
The BBC quoted Gracenote, a data company affiliated with Nielsen, saying, "Cameroon, which had a 5.9% chance of winning, defeated Brazil, overturned the odds of 8.7% and overturned Saudi Arabia, which captured Argentina, and recorded the best 'upset'."
There was also data that put Taegeuk Warriors at the top of the leaderboard.
According to the American data website Football Reference, Cho Kyu-seong won the 18th ball in the group stage aerial competition, beating Michael Estrada (Ecuador, 13th inning), who was second in this category, by a wide margin and rose to first place.
Cho Kyu-seong, who played as a substitute in the first match against Uruguay, overcame the most aerial competition among tall players in the world after playing only 195 minutes in the group stage.
Cho Kyu-seong, who scored two goals only with his head in the match against Ghana, contributed to the victory by winning the ball in the air with active physical struggle even though he failed to score in the match against Portugal.
Kim Moon-hwan got 39 throw-ins, surpassing Yosip Yuranovic (Croatia, 37 times) and recording the most in this category.
