South Korea deputy coach Sergio Costa believes his side deserved to win against Ghana in their second group game at the 2022 World Cup on Monday.
Black Stars took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Mohammed Salisu and Kudus but two stunning headers in three minutes from Cho Gue-sung levelled the game after 61 minutes.
Kudus added a final twist when he thumped in a third for Ghana to break South Korea's hearts.
"The second half was totally different. We had control, possession and opportunities to score but the result at the end is totally unfair," South Korea's Costa said after the game.
"Not even a tie would have been fair. We clearly deserved to win. I think we can be very proud of what we did and can count on us in the next match."
The result leaves South Korea bottom in Group H with only one point following their goalless draw against Uruguay in their World Cup opener.
