WEMBLEY, England (AP) — South Korea reached the men’s Olympic soccer quarterfinal with a scoreless draw against Gabon on Wednesday.

In front of almost 77,000 people at Wembley Stadium, South Korea dominated, with Koo Ja-cheol heading a first-half opportunity wide before Park Chu-yeong mistimed a pair of opportunities from close range after the break.

Gabon, needing to win by at least three goals, created few chances and lost midfielder Merlin Tandjigora to injury just after the game started. Levy Madinda hit the post in the 65th minute.

South Korea finished two points behind Group B winner Mexico to play the winner of Group A, which could be Senegal, Britain or Uruguay.

Gabon finished last behind Switzerland with one point.
