South Korea pulled off the upset of the 2018 World Cup with their 2-0 win over defending champions Germany on Wednesday. The Taeguk Warriors closed as +1850 underdogs before Wednesday's match, making them the biggest longshot by some margin to win a match in the past three World Cups.
Before Korea's win, Mexico's 1-0 victory over the Germans was the biggest upset in the group stage. El Tri were +624 to beat Die Mannschaft in their opening match.
Not only did South Korea come in at better than 18-1, but it also condemned Germany to last place in Group F, which was 25-1 before the tournament started.
