The best, though, as alluded to above, was yet to come.
This arrived in the form of South Korea’s result-clinching 2nd of the evening, to round out the scoring in Daejeon.
Tottenham standout Heung-min Son proved the scorer on this occasion, picking up where he left off on the back of a season which saw the 29-year-old secure a share of the Premier League Golden Boot courtesy of a 23-goal haul.
Against Chile, though, Son showcased a seldom-seen aspect of his game, in the form of his ability to find the net from dead ball situations.
After standing over a free-kick for the hosts in a central position just outside the area, the Spurs attacker went on to direct a sumptuous effort into the top-right corner of the net, rounding out an impressive result for his nation:
