The dullest number on the sheet is the loudest: South Africa attempted exactly one shot from inside the box. Ninety minutes, 58% possession, one entry worth finishing. Canada won 1:0 without ever needing more.
Korea Republic passed the ball 720 times and never scored. South Africa passed it 339 times and did. The 1:0 result runs against every possession instinct — and still matched the xG count, which leaned 1.1 to 1.0 toward the winners.
