=== Semi-finals ===
The semi-finals saw two 1–0 games; the first semi-final, played in Seoul, saw Michael Ballack's goal suffice for Germany to eliminate South Korea. However, Ballack had already received a yellow card during the match before, which forced him to miss the final based on accumulated yellow cards.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/news/2002/06/25/Ger_kor_gamer/ |title=Ballack lifts Germany past co-host, into seventh Cup final |date=25 June 2002 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |access-date=29 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718084135/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/news/2002/06/25/Ger_kor_gamer/ |archive-date=18 July 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The next day in Saitama saw Ronaldo score a goal early in the second half, his sixth of the competition for Brazil, to defeat Turkey in a replay of their Group C encounter.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/brazil_v_turkey_semi_final/default.stm |title=Brazil stride into final |date=26 June 2002 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=29 March 2012 |archive-date=31 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120731025831/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/brazil_v_turkey_semi_final/default.stm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/rejuvenation-of-brazil-awaiting-one-final-fling-304338.html |title=Rejuvenation of Brazil awaiting one final fling |date=27 June 2002 |newspaper=Irish Independent |access-date=29 March 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120804142142/http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/rejuvenation-of-brazil-awaiting-one-final-fling-304338.html |archive-date=4 August 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>
