This one is headed to safety though and Mexico have a throw, which they are in no hurry to take.
Ochoa again! Another fine save from the América keeper, another South Korea corner...

And here we go with the anthems!
The teams are in the tunnel now in Yokohama and we're not far away from kick-off in the fourth Olympic quarter-final.
Spain through to last four
Spain are into their first Olympic semi-final since Sydney 2000 after overcoming Ivory Coast 5-2 AET.
Other games in progress
Spain now look to have secured their place in the semis as La Rojita are 4-2 up against Ivory Coast deep into extra time while in the other games it remains scoreless between Japan and New Zealand (second half) and Brazil and Egypt (first half).
Mexico starting line-up confirmed
Jaime Lozano has named his XI with Henry Martín and Alexis Vega starting up front. Veteran stopper Guillermo Ochoa gets the nod in goal with Betis playmaker Diego Lainez having to make do with a spot on the bench. Luis Romo also starts, meaning Mexico have their three permitted over-age players on from the whistle.
South Korea starting line-up confirmed
Kim has named his side for the quarter-final and there's no start for Lee Kangin.
Spain - Ivory Coast into extra time
Spain looked to be in big trouble there for a minute when Ivory Coast scored late on but a Rafa Mir equalizer deep into stoppage time has taken that game to extra time. In the other quarter currently in play, Japan and New Zealand remains 0-0 at half time.
Alexis Vega is one to watch for Mexico. The 23-year-old Guadalajara forward helped himself to two goals and an assist in the group stage and has already been capped at senior level despite not being among El Tri's quota of over-age players in Japan.
The winner of this game will face the victors of the quarter-final between Brazil and Egypt in the last four.
Gold medal race wide open
Some of the pre-tournament favourites were knocked out in the group stage, leaving the competition open for those that remain. Spain, Japan and Brazil can all be considered favourites in their respective quarters but this one is too close to call.
Mexico were drawn in arguably the toughest of the groups - alongside France, South Africa and Japan - and finished second behind the host nation, scoring eight and conceding three.
The Taegeuk Warriors lost their opening group game against New Zealand but recovered to finish top after scoring 10 in consecutive victories over Honduras and Romania. Kim Hak-bum's side were bronze medalists in London and reached the quarter-finals in Rio.
South Korea are without Tottenham star and talisman Son Heung-min in Japan but that has allowed other players to make their mark and in Lee Kangin and Hwang Uijo they have two potential future stars up front.
