Germany vs. South Korea: Score and Reaction from 2016 Olympic Men's Soccer

Arsenal attacker Serge Gnabry came to Germany's rescue on Sunday after scoring twice to save a 3-3 draw in their clash against Group C opponents South Korea at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. 

Goals from Gnabry and Davie Selke put the Germans 2-1 ahead with 35 minutes remaining, and substitute Suk Hyun-Jun scored late to think he'd sealed the win before Gnabry's deflected free-kick winner in injury time.

Hwang Hee-Chan opened the scoring early on for South Korea, and Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-Min equalised after Germany hit back to take the lead after half-time.

Sandals For Goalposts highlighted what could have been a much bigger night for South Korea, who missed out on an outright lead in Group C as a result of the draw:

Despite dispatching Fiji with eight unanswered goals on Thursday, South Korea very much entered Sunday's match as underdogs against their European opponents.

However, they showed little fear moving forward with the ball during the early exchanges, and it was Hwang who tested Germany's Timo Horn early on with a scuffed effort straight at the goalkeeper.

The Germans proceeded to take an unsurprising grip on possession, but what followed was more of a shock, as South Korea mounted a slim lead from the most unlikely of scenarios.

From a corner, Jung Seung-hyun headed the ball toward goal, and Hwang was on hand to force the ball past Horn from the tightest of angles, per German outlet DW Sports:

That 25th-minute breakthrough didn't last long, however, as Gnabry needed just eight minutes to steer Germany's response on target, and what a response it was.

The Arsenal forward scored in his side's opening win against Mexico, and he strode toward South Korea's box before wrapping a beautiful shot across goal and inside the far post. Kieran Canning of Agence France-Presse stated his impression of Gnabry after being found on the fringes in north London:

The two teams made it to the break level at one goal apiece, and it came Germany's turn to display the initiative after the restart thanks to Selke's intervention.

The Red Bull Leipzig attacker picked the ball up just inside the area before chipping a delightful lob over Kim Dong-Jun, but Bleacher Report's Stefan Bienkowski professed to the youngster's weakness:

Except South Korea's reply to Germany's lead was even swifter than that of their opponents, and Kim propelled the ball up to his attackers before Son strode into the German area and powered in his side's second.

Almost half and hour passed by at Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova without a goal to speak of—the longest scoreless period of the match—but South Korea made sure to land one more blow before the match was done.

A South Korean attacker had his first shot at goal blocked, but Suk was in the right place at the right time to divert the rebound home, and Germany's Olympic hopes looked to be in tatters:

But Gnabry had other plans, and after Die Mannschaft refused to accept their fate, it was his free-kick from 25 yards out and just to the left of Kim's goal that rescued the point.

Granted, the effort took a big deflection off the wall en route to goal, but that didn't prevent Bundesliga Fanatic from illustrating the high-octane quality of a thrilling end-to-end matchup:

The result means both teams remain undefeated at the Rio 2016 Olympics, but South Korea still sit two points above the Germans in the joint-lead with just one game each remaining.

Now Germany take on bottom side Fiji, who have conceded 13 goals in their two games thus far, while South Korea will look to take the Group C lead away from Mexico.
