germany are the fourth defending champions to be eliminated from the group stage at the world cup in the last five tournaments, following france in 2002, italy in 2010, and spain in 2014; and since the new millennium, all champions eliminated in the group stage have been uefa members. this is only the second time that germany have been eliminated from the first round at the world cup, having done so in 1938, while also being the first time since then that germany fails to finish among the best eight teams of the tournament. however, this is the first time it happened after the first round was converted back to a group stage format in 1950. this was germany's first ever defeat against an asian nation in a world cup match in what was their sixth such match. this was south korea's first victory (and clean sheet) at the world cup since their 2–0 win over greece in 2010. son's goal for south korea (95:52) was the latest goal germany have ever conceded in a world cup match (excluding extra-time). this was also the first time germany finished bottom in the world cup's group stage, one of the worst performances in their history; having been eliminated from the group stage of uefa euro 2000 and 2004. south korea's win also meant that australia was the only team from the asian football confederation that failed to win a game in their 2018 world cup campaign.
